Well I wrote a long letter for my therapist to read out in our session today. It was me being totally honest about my attachment to her and that I finally figured out why ..... because she fills some of my tanks that were not filled when I was younger. She barely made any comment on it apart...

*breath* Whatever you told them (I am assuming you mean your therapist?) it is ok! They are trained to deal with all the horrible and weird stuff we tell them. They have heard it all before and they do not judge! It is ok to tell them anything you need to tell them. Don't feel you have to hold...

Thanks these are good questions. No definitely no sexual affection. Is a "mother figure" affection No therapist is definitely not making use of the relationship to satisfy her needs in any way. Would say I am becoming less dependent on my therapist, I feel less attached now to what I have done...

Thanks that does make sense. I just feel so wrong that I am receiving them from my therapist

Thanks for your reply. I have talked to my therapist about feeling attached to her but never understood why, now that I do understand why it makes so much more sense to me. I will bring it up again with her :) This is very similar to how I would describe my relationship with my parents

After talking to my T quite a bit over a long period of time about my parents and feeling unloved (even though I know they do love me) my T recommended I read the book on the 5 languages of love. I would always tell her about how my parents did stuff for me and we had everything we needed food...

He has issues he needs to get sorted :(

Sammy!! I am super super proud of you that you managed to do some work in your workshop, I am so excited for you. PTSD is a bitch but we will fight it one day at a time. Please don't give up on your workshop you are amazing with your hands and being creative xx

I like you found it when I googled info on PTSD. I have found it a real eye opener as to how many suffer from PTSD and all the different forms in which it affects people. I am thankful for a lot of the stuff I have read to realise I am not a "freak" that many people are going through the same...

I like touch, but only from certain people. I get a hug from my T after each session. There have been a couple of times when I haven't got a hug and am disappointed. But I kinda see my T as a mother figure which is why I like hugs from her as I never really got hugs from my mum. But I don't like...

I txt to ask for an extra appointment every now and then, she txts me if she wants to change our time or something. She will ask me to txt her to let her know I have got home safe if we have had a tough session. But other than that no.

link?

Awesome! Well done you :)

yeah same here but you can Google others that are free :)

ISFJ

Only when you are ready should you talk about it, it should never be forced. As your support worker said some people hardly talk about the actually event as what needs to be talked about and worked through are the emotions and issues caused by the rape/abuse. The rape/abuse can never be taken...

Im so sorry this has happened to you and I feel your pain. It is really hard when we get attached to our therapists and they leave before we are ready to leave them. If you can find a new T asap so you can talk through these feelings with them. I totally understand the "abandoned button" I would...

I agree with the above, email her and tell her what you have written here.

I love love love how you have described this! Its so true

Hiya Im not a supporter, but just wanted to say that here is a great place to reach out as I am sure there will be others along soon that can relate to what you are going through. You wont need to feel so alone in here :)

I agree with all of the above. Im am usually a very independent sort of person I learnt from a young age to fend for myself and spent most of my time alone. But I find myself so attached to my T. It really hurts at times, she is the person I want to tell everything to, every little thing that...

I think it would be really good for you to find a new T in your new area. Yes it will take some time to learn to trust a new person but in the long run you might find a fabulous T who is even better than the one you have now. best of luck :)

Yes! I quite often feel like this. I also have a loving husband who I love to bits and is so supportive. But I crave a different kind of hug that I can explain. Im so glad you started this thread as its so nice to know im not alone in feeling this

That is awesome, so proud of you! :)

Sorry you are having a rough time with your dad. Just wanted to say, just remember you are an adult and you chose what you do with your life and stay strong and not let your dad get to you :)
