I'm not sure if my title fits, but it's the best I could do!

Recently my T said something which I don't know how to understand. I haven't had a chance to discuss it further since something more pressing came up. It's in the back of my mind though and bugging me.

I'm afraid to use too many details, but in essence I said something about the therapeutic framework, he said do you want to change the framework?

To someone who is extremely attached, it sounded like he was offering to relate to me in a different way, and my little hopeful mind took that out of context to mean he wishes he wasn't my T.

I doubt he meant that, but it got my hopes up and triggered another wave of intense attachment longing. When I am intensely attached I can't talk to him about it directly. It's too painful. It will also be a few weeks before we can address the topic at all because of other things going on.

Any advice for how to handle it? I'm happy to share the word for word context (we are all text) for anyone who likes to take a stab at these things, it just has to be via PM for privacy reasons.

Just to clarify - you are all text, meaning you have a texting-based therapist?

Feel free to pm me! That sounds tough!

Yes, sounds confusing for you.
As was asked, do you only text with T?

You may PM me, I’ll try to be helpful.

Thanks for the responses. Yes it is text based therapy primarily. We occassionally use audio and video. Often this does lead to misunderstandings, especially because we can be covering multiple topics/ideas in one message, but it is worth it to me.
