In reply to missing my T :(, posted by happyflower on April 28, 2005, at 10:41:27
Happyflower,
When I first started therapy almost 2 years ago, I was like you. Missing my T the day after a session and the next week couldn't get here fast enough.
I think this is perfectly normal. And it lessens over time. ONce you get what you need out of therapy, the longing lessens. I now go every two weeks and while I miss my T occasionally, I don't think about him constantly the way I used to.So just know that as time passes, these feelings will more than likely become much less intense. And your T may sense you are NEEDING him which may be why he is putting space between you.
My T said from the get go he didn't believe in clients becoming dependent on him and he has done a fabulous job of that. It may seem somewhat cruel in the beginning, but I believe the time termination comes around, it will make things much easier for you.
