And you went back. Despite the fear, despite knowing that things had changed and that the boundaries had changed, despite the weirdness of the text conversations and him taking you off his schedule.

Both brave and trusting.

I'm really glad for you!
Your therapist sounds like he really thinks about his own part in everything. Mine does too, and that's been huge for being able to trust him.

Yea, I've read a lot of horror stories on here about therapists

I'm lucky to have mine

So I have a question: is it possible to develop romantic feelings for another poster's therapist? #RisksOfPocketRiding

So very happy that it went well for you. You were very brave to follow through and speak honestly! That took a lot of courage!

You have a great therapist, from what I've read. I know the relief of feeling like it's going to be ok. I'm glad you are back on your schedule with him!

So happy for you, jDNA! You were so incredibly brave, and I'm so glad your T owned his part in matters.

He handled everything so incredibly well, and you did great!

I love how he owns his stuff and is articulate about how BOTH he and you contribute the relationship dynamics.

Your relationship is stronger from this....you are stronger from this, for sure.

Same here, both my T and marriage counselor will consider their role in how things are between us. And are willing to admit when they may have made a mistake. That to me is one of the most important traits of a T: self-awareness. And realizing they're not perfect/infallible. Glad your T has those traits, Junk.

This should go in the 'advice for therapy' thread!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
