When we post on PC we are obviously thinking about our Ts. But what about when we are not posting?

I used to think about my T almost all of the time, especially when I was what I call "addicted" or "obsessed" with her. I am using these words because that's the way I thought of it, whether they are accurate or not.

When I started feeling better about myself, I thought about her less. Or, maybe more accurately, I thought of her in a more helpful way. I guess that's when the attachment became more secure. But I still thought of her at least once a day. Now I notice that sometimes a few days go by and I don't think about her. But usually something reminds me of her every day. Of course it's different for me because I don't see her regularly. I'm still curious as to how often everyone thinks about their Ts.

I think about her a lot. I can still go about my life and all, but I am still a therapy beginner and have lots of junk to deal with.

I don't really call or email her much at all. I just don't. I think my head would have to fall off before I called my T in between sessions.

I think about my T if I see or hear about something that I want to talk about or something that I think would interest her but other then that usually not much.

I think about her most of the time. It's still early in my therapy - started seeing her in April.

I think about her every day most hours, only as a way of comforting myself, to reasure myself she's still there, and sometimes when at work and the "masses" are talking crap, gossiping or whatever, I think the my times with T and it feels nice, its a relationship that not only exists in the theraputic hour, it exists within us, we carry it around and can refer to it when and as we need.

Sometimes when I'm at work and the chat is going on around me and I sit with a serene smile on my face just remembering the warmth of the relationship compared to the emptiness of whats going around me at times.

It depends really, sometimes not much and other days a lot.
I've been seeing her for nearly a year so I don't think I'll be seeing her much longer and thinking about that makes me think of her more.

I think about my therapy and my issues A LOT. Probably way too much. Often comments or interactions that I've had with my T are part of these thoughts, but I don't really obsess about her. I guess my obsession is very self centered-- I'm obsessed with every detail of my mental life, so from that perspective yes I think about therapy all the time.

I also think about therapy and my T a great deal. I'm also relatively new to it all, a little over 3 months in.

I often rehearse in my head what I want to say to my T, and I've discussed this with my T - she thinks it's because I'm very excited and want to get it out, which is true. And it's also that, as my T put it, sharing is a big deal to me, because I don't like to be vulnerable and completely open - something we're working on, trust me!

I think about my t way too much. I have very strong transference feelings for him, which we have talked about. Doesn't matter what I am doing, I cant get him out of m head

I think about her a lot...I think at times, it keeps me at my best. Like if I'm doing something stupid, or something harmful, it helps sometimes to have her in the back of my mind...it grounds me and rationalizes my thinking in most cases. Also, if there's something that makes me feel connected to her, or something that reminds me of her, she will obviously come to mind.

This is a tough one for me to express. T is always there even when I'm not thinking about him...he's never far away. When something is bothering me, it seems as if he gets in my mind and pokes me to do something about it, lol. If I'm watching something with pretty scenery or listening to nice music, I sense his presence in me. When a get a pleasant feeling, his face often appears in my mind and the pleasant feeling becomes stronger. Sometimes these images are flashes of his expressions or smiles and it is very comforting. As far as intensely thinking about him...not so much anymore, but there isn't a day that goes by when I don't feel his presence in some way. It's kind of odd, but I like it.

Almost never! Except for the day before a session, when I start to feel anxious and/or nervous. This is despite the fact that I usually feel better in general after a session.
