Over the years Iīve seen different counselors and therapists and some of them I still miss. I donīt see a therapist at the moment and I donīt expect to get access to psychotherapy in the future.
Iīve really tried to find someone who could help me but I havenīt succeeded but I though have fond memories of some of the therapists and counselors Iīve met with.
I understand that I subconsciusly search for being part of someoneīs life and I guess it feels a bit like that when I see a therapist or a counselor. I completely understand I wonīt be my therapistīs friend or that Iīll be part of her family but I get at least a little "mini part" of being close to someone.
I still miss my first therapist I saw seven years ago and now when itīs summer I think about what she might be doing, if she perhaps owns a summer cottage and spends her vacation there and with whom.
I think about my latest counselor who I left two months ago and I wonder what sheīs doing, if she perhaps attends some dog training course or spends time with her family in their vacation home.
I live on welfare and I wouldnīt look for someone to live with as I donīt have any money, no job, no nothing really. By that I keep imagining what my former counselors and therapists are doing and I kind of wish I was part of their family. I know itīs just a fantasy and perhaps I wouldnīt find their family or their life as appealing if I really know how it is.
Seeing a therapist once a week, even if I in most cases knew that therapist or counselor wouldnīt be able to help me, made me feel a kind of belonging. An illusion of being part of someone elseīs life and I felt less lonely. Someone to visit, someone to get a bit dressed up for, someone to prepare to see. I know itīs all very fraudulent and fragile but those "relationships" are all Iīve got during the years.
