said, therapy schmerapy. This therapist forced me to grow as a person; I know that's true. Actually, I forced myself and he basically watched. Really. The parts of me that are healthier now will never be wholly mine though, it feels like I owe him something forever. I care about that man to hugely; I think about his physical and emotional well-being constantly. Any thought that he's not doing well sends me into instant anxiety. But the thought that I can't contribute to his wellbeing really hurts me; his empathy and compassion were number one in my life for a long long time, (what's it like for people who go for years, I only saw him over a year or so, and not that often!) and now it's gone. I'll bet you know what I mean. He's become a ghost and I don't know how to live with ghosts.
