Hey Daisy, I am going through the same thing right now. I need him to meet my needs but his overwhelming problems are preventing him from being "my rock". It hurts and is very disapointing to me.> He worries about what will happen if once again it is proven that I should only rely on myself.

I too fall into this trap, but now I can count on my T for some support while I am going through all of this. My T knows I am not getting the support from my husband right now, so I am being a little clingy to him. But he told me not to feel bad about it, because it is okay with him and he will try to do what he can for me to feel safe especiallly if we start EMDR again.> The other thing that I'm faced with is this confusing swirl of wanting to avoid therapy and needing to spend 24/7 there. It feels so out of control. I'm looking forward to a time when things finally settle down.

I was feeling this a couple of weeks ago. It is like you need your T but you don't want to "need him". I told my T this and he understood and told me that it was okay to "need" him right now, that is what he is here for. He said don't worry I have enough support for all his patients and I can take all I want, because he has a endless supply! lol
