Hi Dinah,
It's good to see you posting a bit again.
I have never gotten to the bond, the attachment
that you've reached in therapy. And I probably never will. So it's hard for me to understand.But I do feel your sadness, your loss.
Perhaps it's just a stage. Have you ever felt like this before with him?
I wish I knew what to say :(
All of a sudden, I am going through a bad time too. I am seeing my therapist's good points, his knowledge, his insight, perhaps even his caring and the only thing that I want to do is flee, flee, flee.
I could barely sit through my last session. He had to say, "C'mon just a couple of minutes more. We're almost done."
Now this week the only thing I can think about is how to get away from him - tell him I need a couple of months off, tell him I am switching to every other week, tell him I think I am finished. Anything, anything, anything so he doesn't have to see me.
In fact, I can't stand seeing anybody right now. I want to lock myself away in a closet.
Strangely enough he thinks that I am in a really good place right now. So maybe now is the time to leave. He thinks that he's been successful. I would never want to take that away from him. I need to get out now before he realizes otherwise.
Sorry for making this all about me. It just seems like our issues are mirror images of each other in some way.
