In reply to I called my T and now I feel stupid, posted by Happyflower on April 8, 2008, at 12:30:05
I know what you mean. My T always urges me to call if I need to, then jokes, "but I know you won't," because I hate to get in the habit. I mean, where will it end? How can I rely on her, after I've taught myself to get through things on my own? How do I know when I'm feeling bad enough? I think getting a good phone call would freak me out, too, because then I'd worry about being dependent.
But it's good that you called him and he was there for you, I think--even though it scares you at first. My T would call it progress, so congratulations :)
From reading the board, I have an impression that you have a very good, affectionate, friendly relationship with this therapist, and you're relieved that the boundary crossings/intense feelings you had with your old T haven't shown up. Are you worried that if you get closer to the new one, those things will start happening? I might be way off, just an idea.
Anyway, stay well and take care of yourself :)
