In reply to Being in therapy is too much like being in love, posted by Dinah on October 5, 2005, at 6:50:13
What do you mean "I feel like I'm doing everything wrong." What are you referring to? I'm not sure.
I hear conflict. Wanting things to be as they were before and wishing things were different now (that he didn't up and leave his practice without a moments pause). I do think T2 can help you process (and I do hate that word, but for lack of a better one - maybe digest) your new reality. That you are able to see your main T whenever he is available, but for on-going support, you will see her.
I do think he wants to continue to be your therapist, but he should of thought of that before committing to move 3 hours away!
Yes, I do agree that on some level that feelings evoked in a theraputic relationship are similar to being in love. I guess that's a good thing. I think it allows us to trust the relationship enought to test it.
I'm glad your busband and father-in-law are happy with the assisted living facility. One less worry. I'm sure he knows you love him. Who wouldn't be stressed in your current situaion?
