I just had a session yesterday and it went great. I haven't had anymore dreams about my father. I just feel that a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. And we kind of talked about what will happen when I start feeling anxious again, when I start to remember things again. I have no doubt that he will be there. I do have a question for you though. Here's is the situation. I have a huge crush on my therapist. It is a little bit of transference, and a little bit about the fact that he is only a few years older than I and very attractive. Well, I am in kind of a power struggle with him, so much that I even dress nicer than him. Which is a struggle, as I am a student. So, I come home from class and change into a business suit to go to therapy (and I know it is silly).. I have told him aobut this and asked permission to wear jeans agian... I just want reassurance that it is ok, that I will still be in control. He said it was fine, but kept remarking how nice I looked and even refered to me as a beautiful woman during the session. He wasn't saying it as a way to build my self-esteem. I think the reason why he said it was to reassure me that men could find me attractive without looking at me in a "lustful way"?????? I don't know? What do you think?? And now I can't wear jeans again because of all the remarks he makes aobut how nice I look. Also, I have previous issues of changing my clothes several times a day that he knows aobut anyway, so why is he playing mind games? But, I love his mind games anyway... Ahhh, to have a crush on your shrink.. soeminput would be helpful. Karen
