On a scale of 1 to 10, how obsessed are you with your T?

Sometimes 8, sometimes 9

10, and yes, I HAVE seen another T in order to deal with current T. Pathetic ....

With T1 I was at 10 and that's why he's now my ex T. I took a break from him and went to see a new T and that break became permanent.
I'm now about 7 with T1 and 4 with T2. Time does heal.

I'm a 7, I can easily function without her. I'm wondering what made you go up to a 10? I found the attachment much harder with my ex-T, I might say I was painfully attached. Now I look back on it I think it was because I felt insecure in the relationship, with my new T I am much more secure, so I think I am calmly attached, I don't worry much about my therapy with her, I am less anxious about it in between appoinments.

I think I'm a 7 or 8. I don't think I could function without her, at least not now. Maybe I could, but I cant go without therapy at the moment. But every other T I've had were more like a 2. And that didn't work. So I guess I do need my current T.

With pdoc it's difficult. Maybe a 9; I'm attached to him, I'm in love with him (sort of), but I can live without him. I guess I'm just used to unrequited love.

I have never been obsessed with a therapist. I only expected him to do what he said, keep his word, and help me until I didn't need help anymore. I don't think that was unreasonable. I think the attachment was normal in that regard, but not too much.

I don't think I'm obsessed. I just wish he was around to talk to.

I think a 3/4 - but I have only really seen her for 2 1/2 months, as we are now almost through a 2-month break due to overlapping vacation and professional development schedules. I am looking forward to regular sessions again, as there are things I want to talk about, but I don't miss her as a person, or think about her a lot.

I'm a 7 1/2.... I almost said 10 because I've thought about seeing a therapist to talk about my therapist, LOL, but only out of embarrassment around my feelings for him. If he terminated me, I know my life would go on. It would be incredibly painful for me, I'm sure I'd spend some days in bed not moving, it would be hard to recover from... I'd probably need another therapist at least in the short term, but I would survive and I always function.

I'm currently feeling like a 10 with ex-t, but I know it's more of a 7 in actuality. I am attached, but I know I can function without her. I don't want to have to function without her right now (due to various huge stresses), but I know I can and am doing just that...

It's not pathetic. It's okay

I didn't mean to imply, 'obsessed', I originally did use that word when writing out the question. Then I was changed the question from obsessed to attached, because it fit better, and did so in the bio but forgot to change the wording in the question. I didn't mean to equate obsessed to attachment. Because it's not the same.

I find my therapist a lot more comfortable to talk to about my situations that I go through than my family, namely because her answers is not the insensitive 'smile more' that my family constantly says. I also find her to be more progressive than my family, since I talk about certain subjects with her easily than I would my family.

But, at the end of the day, I realize that she is only a professional that deals with countless other patients and their problems that pertains to their lives. To be honest, I feel like no one will ever understand what goes on in my mind, as I can only give out bits and pieces that seem too foreign to everyone else, and that includes therapists/psychiatrists.

I think the attachment style I have with my T is an insecure one... You probably have a more secure style. You're lucky to have found a less anxious and less painful attachment. Mine, is not that way anymore. I'm really anxious about her abandoning me, rejecting me, etc.

Time made it go up to a 10 for me. She literally just has all the qualities I wanted/want in a mother figure, I didn't get. It toke me a long time to trust her, but when I did, the more I opened up and the more spent time with her, it just got more and more intense.

It wasn't a 10 before, but since the hugging and hand holding, it's now officially a 10. Before then, it was about a 8-9... Which was still pretty attached, but I think now since the physical touch started, I'm at a 10 because it's enabling my transference. And I'm fantasizing about her being my mother, holding me, etc. so I considered a 10 to be, unhealthy because it's interfering with my life and to the point where, I probably need help with it.

1. The most 2 because I am not interested in switching therapists now. I have too many other things to deal with to afford being attached to t. I would probably be attached if t was a guy so I avoid men Ts.

Used to be a 9 a year ago, now it's about a 3-4. I'm glad it went down though.

Some where between 7 and 8. If I were to lose him my functioning would take a hit I'm sure, but I'm also certain that I would bounce back on my own, in large part because of what he has taught me.

I don't like the use of 'obsessed' in the title either. Attachment and obsession are two entirely different things.

T, a 2. Pdoc, a 7.

Thank you for clarifying.

10+ ...just pathetic. But at least I know what it's all about in therapy.

The first year it was probably a 2. Now nearly 2 years on, it's at least 28!

I feel ya
