>>>>My personal answer is that you're in pain, and he's offered to help you in a way that he sees you need help. He's a professional who knows his limits and wouldn't offer if he weren't willing. Take him up on whatever caring gestures he offers. Lean on him when standing alone gets too hard. That's what other people are there for.
You wrote this to me. It applies to you too. READ IT TEN TIMES. I keep rereading it. Maybe try setting up extra sessions a few at a time so you aren't so anxious about him saying "no"
Yesterday I told my therapist that I was freaked that he would try to reduce my attachment by reducing sessions. He said no, that he wouldn't do that to me. We talked a lot about the ebb and flow of sessions again. I believe him. I'm glad I told him I was afraid of this. You should bring it up.
