Over many years of off and on therapy with lots of different Ts I've felt this problem often.
I am a tenacious, stubborn, willful, determined, angry, happy independent person who has so deeply ingrained the need to be not controlled that I guess I've pounded it into my head not to get attached past a certain point, no matter how much I like/love my mental health care professionals.
Dependency on any one person or "group" is, to me, psychic strangulation.
Hmmmm... I'm thinking perhaps because I trust only so far, and know, from my entire life experience, that that line cannot be crossed.
My T thinks maybe someday I'll realize there are good people out there, people I can depend on, can trust. Well, yeaaauh, no shyt. I already realize it. But it still only gets to the point of my personal force field.
Like the saying in some business:
Trust in God, all others pay cash.I trust in God.
Next, in animals;
All others...
Well...
All others are human.just like me
