I owe a lot of Thank Yous.

First of all, Thank YOU. Yes, you reading. All of you. I was so paralyzed with fear when I started to feel myself falling in deep like (Let's face it... it's Love) with my T. I cried, agonized and even got headaches over it. Then, I found you guys!! Even if you didn't read or respond to anything I wrote, you're here and you put yourselves out there and maybe without knowing it you opened a door and turned on a light for people who feel so alone and ashamed of their thoughts. You are the ones to gave me the courage to write my letter and have the talk with my T I had today. You helped me feel normal when I felt anything but.

Thank you!!

Thank you to my T. You read my letter, you talked with me about it and you accepted and even further normalized it with me. You didn't tell me it was wrong, you didn't tell me I had to stop and you didn't make my feel bad in anyway that I was feeling this way. All that fear I had is subsiding. Even knowing my feelings you didn't stop telling me that you cared about me.

It's thanks to all of you! I took a big step and I knew, good or bad, that you guys would be here. I know I'm new and this probably sounds crazy but just being yourselves here you've done an amazing service to me.



Thank you!

Eiko,

Just reading your post brought tears to my eyes and brought me joy. I am so happy you talked to your T and that you are here on this forum. I am new too. I had been reading the posts for several months before I braved it and decided to join, and I too am so glad and so relieved to have found this wonderful community of awesome and honest people. Here on this forum with these very special people I am unafraid, I feel totally unguarded and know there are others experiencing or have experienced what I am.

Therapy with my current T or I guess T1 now has been endless transference and it has been very confusing for me. I couldn't venture to talk to my friends, my husband or my family about the transference issues that have plagued me (like they would really understand). But now we all have the support and connection with each other here. That is so awesome. I am so grateful!
Eiko,
It was very thoughtful of you to take the time to say this, being appreciated is always nice. Smiler But please take the lion's share of the credit. It was very courageous of you to take the chance to be open with your therapist about your feelings; it can be quite terrifying. I think you should be very proud of yourself. Your T sounds like he handled hearing about your feelings beautifully, I am really glad you got such a great response. I think it is very valuable to work with these feelings in therapy and you'll see a big pay off from this choice.

Thank you guys so much! (Sorry for the late thanks I was without a computer for a while!) It was awesome and I really hope that others can take this step because since them it has truly made a difference in my recovery. My T explained what I wanted and needed and we're working on a way to find that outside the office to help dissolve my Transference. (If it ever goes away.)
