In reply to What kind of T relationship helps the most?, posted by twinleaf on December 13, 2007, at 21:29:30
Muffled, that's such a good answer! It's wonderful hearing about your T. She sounds so great- as you say, not perfect, but so honest and caring. And it's wonderful to hear that you feel your relationship with her is constantly changing and growing. How long have you been with her? (I've forgotten)
I think what I was getting at is: is there such a thing as too much dependency? Is there a sort of balance between dependence and independence which is best for most of us, or is it completely different for each person? Are there people who have had the xperience of being sort of "taken apart and put back together "in therapy- becoming more regressed and childlike, and then getting reintegrated in a healthier way? I don't know if anyone has posted about that, exactly. I think my first analyst was trying to do that, but for me, it wasn't a good idea.
