One more thing. I used to post here often struggling with my therapist M. I was blown away by the insight and perspective of this group. I finally terminated with M.

I post less bc I get my needs met much more with C. There’s an overall sense of safety and security.

This will definitely not be popular, but we talked about Martin Buber and I/ thou relationships. My therapist will occasionally tell me he loves me ( Stutz), but it’s so clear between us it’s professional and seeking agape. There’s nothing romantic or inappropriate about it. It’s more about idealism or a quiet calm moment of humanity. There’s trust on both sides that it won’t be misconstrued.

This is where Dr. T has a different modality and training.
