my, such wonderful responses to this thread.... thankyou ....
(((((((((((((Peg))))))))))))))))I agree, i think your T was protecting you, but i can see how you would have been hurt, i would have taken it wrong too because i'm good at taking things the wrong way
(((((((((((((((((((Mouse))))))))))))) i hope you're not offended by this but i read your posts and see how similar we are .... so so similar. I hear you about trust. I mentioned this thread to her today and told her what you'd said, she was ok about it all and said she has a lot of boundaries even though we do connect and she sometimes asks my advice. She finished her therapy now after nearly 7 years and graduates as a fully fledged psychologist in the next couple of months ...... she has very strict boundaries but does like to also remain 'real'. Initially she was fully booked but i was sent to her as a crisis case and we clicked instantly and she wanted to help me. I think because we experienced very similar experiencesas young children we understand each other. We even know what moods each other are in before we start the session ...... ie tired etc .....
It's so interesting to hear how others would view seeing their T outside of the sessions ..... ty for responding, lots of love, Jinny xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Kiya ty for the encouragement
