Hi Waterlily,
As you can see, I too have a fear of dependence. Being bothered that your therapist had to cancel doesn't necessarily mean you are dependent, but surely it means that you are feeling more connected to your therapist and are forming a relationship with him/her. That has to be a good thing. From what I've read, there has to be some degree of connection in order for therapy to work. In any case, it can be something to talk about with your therapist.
They say you play out your other relationships with your therapist. I've always had trouble trusting and connecting with others. I've decided to see this as a learning experience. Of course, if it doesn't work out, I will learn some really bad things from it. I really have to work on that trust issue. :-)
