I also am worried that she feels stuck with me or regrets things/our relationship. She also reassures me she has no regrets.

L knows how attached I am to her. She even knows I have maternal transference with her. I'm glad she knows. It's a secret I don't have to hide. I wish I remember how I was able to communicate such things, but I don't.

It sounds so good with L - and you likely have a talent for self-expression. I believe my therapist would respond in a similar way if she knew how attached I feel to her...she has said some of the same to me. I just wish I knew how to explain my feelings to her in some deeper way than simply saying I feel very attached to you. Yeah, well duh...No, but I mean VERY attached, so what am I supposed to do?

I can't seem to dig out the words. I think I'm terrified of either rejection, or that she'll take me lightly and miss the cue.
