Yeah, she says everyone is addicted to something: drugs, alcohol, sex, tv, internet, food..etc.
Thanks for this!

It's hard to know without the context of the whole session, but from what I remember you posting a few days ago, you were lamenting the days when your only problem was wanting your therapist (I am paraphrasing and may have gotten that wrong). That kind of puts it in a different category in my mind, like missing therapy as a fix/obsession as opposed to missing therapy because of needing to work out some stress or issue in your life. In that way, resolving the craving for therapy in and of itself would require a different framework than resolving issues that brought you to therapy. It does seem that her timing was poor, but maybe that's an indication that she was not invested in it as a theory, but just wondering? Still, the timing sucked.
Thanks for this!

Well not really sure they use it as a tactic but I took what was making me addicted to therapy and tried what I perceived and use it on clients. It works. For personal training no one is getting hurt, just more physically fit and I make a living. It does not work on every single person as some are well adjusted and do not need that kind of emotional tactic.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.

When I'm feeling pretty good, I feel that I've internalized my T, and that I am able to give support to myself. When things are rough and I am unable to give support to myself, I want the support from T.
