Welcome Fellow!
I enjoyed your post! Thank you for your technique, I've already written what I am going to say to my T tomorrow but might rewrite a part of it in the way you indicated!

I'll tell you a positive story about my T. The session before last, I told him that I liked going to this certain place and that I thought it was because I was close to him spiritually (his words. I wasn't sure, but all I know is that I feel better when I go there. I have attachment issues, unfortunately. But, instead of him drawing back and being afraid, he offered me two other places that he likes to go. I was honestly shocked! It was the first time in our three years together that I felt that he really, truly understood what it was like (how humiliating, degrading) for me to feel so dependent. It was such a relief and totally, with more work, will replace my standing schema. This man has stood beside me when others would have run. He has believed in me when others had given up. No, he's not perfect as none of us are. I don't ever think he'll know how much he has done for me. I just have a little hope that somehow, maybe I might have given him something along the way that he needed.
