Thanks for that Lonesome, I see/pay my T privately. I think I'd only be able to consider seeing someone else about it if she were to take an extended break. I couldn't afford to pay for two therapists at the same time.

Yes I remember when you wrote about how finding out about ex-MCs wife's death had affected you, and maybe wishing he'd been more open with you (I hope I'm recalling that right).

In some ways, I think it would have felt easier if T had been more private and not shared so much of what was going on. I wouldn't be feeling so emotionally entangled now! That's one of the difficulties about working with a therapist who is as open as T; sharing so much but then expects you not to show care and concern for them. Rationally, I know it's her family and friend's job to offer support not mine, but I can't just switch the side that cares about her, off.
