It sounds like you are on the right track and making most of what you are experiencing. The book about approval addiction sounds interesting too.

The book is "The Search for Significance" and you can get it with or without the workbook.

Our session went really well. I sort of expected him to say "of course I like you" but he didn't. But that's not really his style. He did mention transferrance and how he hopes that he can help me to work through that issue with him and said something to the effect that he hoped I could know that he appreciates me and not just because he's getting paid to sit there. So I think that was his way of saying he likes me. LOL.

At any rate I do feel better about it and we talked about so many other things that I've been afraid to bring up that all related to that so it was a great visit.

Thanks for giving me the courage to bring it up.

i know this feeling one day i wrote my t a letter when i felt like writing about all ive gone through. now im so self conscious & embarrassed when i go to see him. he keeps encouraging me to write more and get it out but i havent had the urge to write since that one time. i cant even remember what all i wrote in the letter but i was in such a state its hard to tell what i put down. i know it was a lot about being sexually promiscous.

I was that way when I was younger too. I sent him a copy of a journal one time it was really weird stuff that I normally can't even identify. I saved it in Word so I can read it if I want to but he told me later he's just so glad I sent it because it was me being "real" and he was glad that i risked enough to let him see that.

We had such a good talk this week and I told him about my insecurities about everyone including him. And we talked about if it's OK for me to email which he has said is OK but I always t hink I'm bugging him.

Then something funny happened. I emailed him Tuesday and he didn't answer so I was being so weird checking emamil over and over and over wondering why he didn't reply.

Finally I emailed him today asking if he got it and apparently it got lost by our email server. So he resent the email to me. So that gave me the opportunity again to be paranoid and obsessive about if he liked me. Oh joy!



He told me some good stuff in the email though> I like getting emails from him because I can't alway sremember word for word what he says in the sessions and this way I have stuff I can open up and read any time. It's very helpful.
