> Are you gripped with fear because this relationship with your therapist has been a touch-stone in your life? IMHO, it has offered you a place to go for answers and get unconditional acceptance and nonjudgmental responses. Once you no longer have your therapist in your life, the first few weeks will be the toughest. But understand that this is something you simply have to do Decide that you will not fall victim to this dependency.
No, it isn't something I have to do. And no, I have no intention of doing so. I am not "victim" to this dependency. I am a willimg participant. My goal is to find other ways of coping to augment, not replace therapy.
(P.S. Do therapists actually give unconditional acceptance and nonjudgmental responses? Mine doesn't, and I wouldn't particularly want him to.)
