For some reason, I missed your answers when I was replying to this, so interesting that we both said comfort (even though mine was about a former teacher's house and ex-MC's car, a very similar thing). |

Personally, I think you are carrying this obsession on far too far. This is unhealthy. I read in another thread you want a photo of your therapist(s). This made my eyes pop out of my head. This would go far beyond that of a professional relationship - which is what you should be trying to cultivate.
To address another issue, no it is not your therapists' jobs to cure you or even be there or available at all times for your liking. Consider they have a life to lead and they are due making that their priority. If you truly cared for them you would allow for this to happen. Perhaps you might want to think of it as doing them a favour if you were to step back a little. As for fixing you, that is not what a therapist does. Their job is to instill confidence in you and provide you the resources to help yourself. I would like you to take this for consideration. Step back and imagine you are the friend of someone experiencing your dilemma. Would you find their obsession appropriate? What would you say to counsel them? What would you say to encourage them otherwise? In what way would you be a good friend? When you feel that need, for example, to drive by their house, stop and ask yourself if this is a good idea. Ask yourself what would be a healthy choice and try to follow that through. |

I never had a therapist tell me their job was to instill confidence in me or to provide me with resources to help myself. People hire therapists for different things.
A lot of people want a picture of the therapist or look at the picture of the therapist on their website etc. It is not unusual from what I have read. No need to be meanly harsh or judgmental just because someone wants something different than you do. Talking about ones wants, regardless of whether it is something that will be able to be satisified, is something a lot of people use this forum for and it does not mean logically they do not understand the difference. Therapists are not harmed by these feelings.
