I know he understands but he doesn't deserve this from me. But I'm glad you reminded me that I also tell him that I care about him and that I need him too.
Has your pdoc expressed negative feelings - either for you or around you? I've recently allowed my therapist to join me in my anger, which is new. Before I couldn't tolerate that, I'd begin to defend my mother or my father - I could be mad at them but no one else could be. Today I asked my therapist a question and he didn't respond right away. He then told me that he'd had a brief fantasy about hurting my dad for what he'd done to me - and my response was, "that's my job." He nodded and we moved to talking about my fantasies about revenge. But I didn't freak out, which I would have done in the past. I don't know if this is good or bad.
