Though I "love" my therapist... I have not "bonded" with him... I think I've been seeing him for 10 months..

In the past,,, I have always "heard" my T voice.. or carried on conversations sort of.. or wanted to talk to my T between sessions... but Not with this one.. and we talked about that today.. he seemed like majorly surprised that this had not yet happened.. he asked me about how long it took with previous therapists... and my answer.. almost immediately...

Well.. I figured out what the problem is... my son started therapy with him months ago... and that was a "betrayal" to me.. soo.. we will never "bond" to him..

My son is 23 years old.. and I want him to have the help.. and again this is the right therapist for him..I feel... really really feel.. that my T has this great loyality and bonding to my son.. that my son comes first.. and me second..
You know and I know.. that it is hard to even share your T with other patients.. well sharing him with my son.. sucks.. it isn't "family" therapy but individual...It isn't even that LOL.. that I feel that my son is complaining about me as a Mom.. my guess is he is talking about his girlfriend.. and his ADHD.. and his dad... just from little 'bits and pieces" that my son has said..

But it has changed therapy.. I feel that I can no longer discuss my son.. everytime I do.. it is uncomfortable for my T and for me... so my own therapy is limited..

So why am I posting.. I feel physically very icky.. very..
and sad... I give up so much for people in my life.. my T.. is so so important to me... finding a decent T.. that takes your insurance.. that works with DID.. you all here know what I mean.. how very hard it is...

So bonding with my T.. well something that is important to me.. is it to you???

its probably too important for me. sometimes i t hink its more important than me getting better myself. I try not to worry, but the bonding is very important. I think its allot less important to my T who is probably more focused on getting me to feel, cope, or deal with issues in my life.

It is hard to "share" your T like you said---have you thought of either you getting another T or your son?? Somehow, to me, it seems not so "kosher"...
Just me,
