In reply to A dependency on your T, posted by mair on February 7, 2005, at 16:06:55
and it's the question I asked on the earlier thread to you. I've been burned so I don't become dependent anymore- although admittedly my last termination threw me for a couple of months (I'm fine now). I think it's really a fine line between a healthy and unhealthy dependency and I guess it's up to the therp to maintain the healthy part. I trust the female therp I see occasionally (haven't seen her in a few months) but obviously I'm not dependent on her at all. I think that's the best (for me) realtionship to a therp- one of trust and not dependency. It's a real positive situation and hasn't hindered any progress that I am willing to make. note the 'willing' part- I can be pretty obstinate when it comes to my mental health. do you feel it has been a barrier to your therapeutic progress?
take care, judy
