So it's no secret that I adore my therapist. He has helped me through the darkest period of my life and helped me love myself again. I truly love him. How can one not love someone who has helped you do that? And I not only love him for that, but for the person that he is. I love him for the person he has helped me become. I enjoy spending time with him. We have very similar interests and senses of humor. We have a very good chemistry.
I am now in therapy twice a month instead of once a week. This is a sign of progress and mutually agreed upon by both of us. I am being slowly weaned and testing my way in the world. I realize this is the logical progression and I know I am ready for it. And I have been dealing with it well. What is hard is missing him. I miss him, plain and simple.
Had a session this afternoon and it was great. Now however, I am very sad as I know it will be 14 days until I see him again. And don't get me wrong, I'm not out to sleep with him or try to have some sort of relationship other than a therapeutic one. I suppose if I am truly truly honest, I want him to be my father.
Will I get over this? I've been on the verge of tears all afternoon Do I make some proclamation in therapy that I love him? Will that make me feel better?
He is not one for transference, but I kind of want to make him confront this since I can't be the only patient of his who feels this way.
I feel pathetic.
