I think for the first time ever I've become attached to another human being/my therapist. I have a lot of overwhelming emotions, i feel like i really need to talk to somebody about this but it feels like there's so much i don't know where to start. There's good and bad feelings. I think she knows, we kind of talked about it last session. I'm feeling really scared and honestly don't know how to deal with this. This is new to me and I'm feeling very confused.

Hi there,

The best you can probably do is to talk about these feelings with your therapist. I'm really glad you started to discuss them already. Is she psychodynamic?

Something similar happened to me a few years ago! I was just telling my current therapist how he seems so 'big' to me; how these feelings are so big. Yes, they can certainly be scary, confusing, and overwhelming at times.

These feelings really are ok. There a many of us here discussing similar issues and who have wise words of advice. I hope you stay engaged; please ask questions and hang around.

Thanks for this!

It's expected that you would feel confused by something new.

I'm glad that you "kind of talked" about it with your therapist.

I know what you mean-I feel so needy when it comes to therapy with him!

Hope you keep talking about this. It does get less overwhelming....
