I am hoping you get the reply you need SOON.
Thanks Sunrise.

I meant the kind of therapy that is about relationships and that includes the therapy relationship as a big part.

No, my T didn't tell me that. I think I've read something like that in a therapy book once. She did tell me once that we can't change the past. I just feel that a T and the amount of relationship they have to offer will never be completely filling. Will never fill up what you should have had in the past and didn't and still crave. So, if that's so, what comes next? Recognition of this fact, feeling sad...and hopefully somehow moving on to the point of not craving it so much any more...thus freeing. I'm not entirely clear about that process, but that's my general understanding of the big picture. Maybe not everyone believes this and maybe it's not that way for everyone. But I think it probably will be for me, at least I hope I get to the not-craving point some day.
