I keep asking this young part of me, that is so insanely attached, what does it exactly want from him? The shame just well ups inside of me. It wants to be part of his family. To be involved in his life everyday outside of therapy. Not just 1 hr a week. To be loved back.
That is something it can never have and all I feel from it is heavy grief like someone you love deeply has died and you can never have access to that person again. It is just heavy choking feeling.
My T and I are trying to work through this but I just do not see this going away anytime soon and it is so painful.
So what do you want from T?

I want her to sit down next to me and hold me. She did, once. It was very powerful and increased my belief that therapy works.
I don't believe that a therapist is someone who is tossed into our lives fatefully - at least, not a therapist I decide to work with. I saw 2 others prior to mine and they were not a match for me AT ALL. My T is very special to me for many reasons.
