In reply to on knowing 'too much' about your T, posted by asmita on February 15, 2006, at 6:11:42
I googled my T and learned all kinds of stuff. I think that is absolutely normal. It's just natural human curiosity, nothing to feel bad about.
I think it is sometimes hard to accept the therapeutic relationship for what it is. You should never have a relationship with your T outside of therapy and, for me, that was tough to accept. I actually grieved the "loss" of not having my T become a bigger part of my life. Now, I feel as closer to my T than anyone in my whole life. And it was because I gave him that chance to know me and he didn't let me fall.
Please try to share these thoughts in therapy. Some T's don't deal with this well, but most are really good with it and you owe it to yourself to give your T a chance.
The more honest you are, the more healing, the more understanding you can experience.
Keep up posted, I wish you luck.
