In reply to Being in therapy is too much like being in love, posted by Dinah on October 5, 2005, at 6:50:13
Hi Dinah
I really don't have much to add to what others have already said.I know it is extremely tough to let go of a person after 10 years. IT is EXTREMELY hard. But I think your T is aware of this, and is trying to be there for you as long as you need him to be. I don't think he wants you to move on. It only seems like he acknowledges the limitation of doing distant therapy, and is being open about it with you, but at the same time, wants you to know that he will be there for you. At the same time, he needs to respect his professional boundaries, and has to give you the right to move on if you want it.
But I do think he will definitely keep in touch with you quite frequently. And though it may not be as much as you want, it will definitely be a good amount of contact.
I hope you feel a little better soon.
