In reply to boundaries in therapy/'friendship' (LONG), posted by wishingstar on December 9, 2007, at 10:07:32
Wishy I am short on time, but wanted to dash off that i myself do not feel in ANY way discarded by you. I do the same, and have come to realize that babblers UNDERSTAND that sometimes we need to be away for a bit.
Its OK!
Also, I have been thru a similiar thing w/my T. We were of a mind I was 'done' and preparing for termination etc, and my T is very kind and we have many things in common, so she did the common T thing of saying we could still keep in touch etc. We were working more in a friendly type direction. BUT, it came to be, that I was NOT done....
And so it has been some what of a challenge to be able to continue to work w/her cuz I worry bout hurting her etc. We have spent an amount of time working thru this. It is hard for me to lean and trust ANYbody. So after much thot I decided to stick with her. And its OK. I COULD go back. We DO work harder at trying to keep the boundaries a little tighter for now. It was very frustrating initially, but I am getting used to it.
Ugh, goto go. LOts more to say, will post again later! LOL!
Suffice it to say, I think it might be a GOOD thing to stick w/T and work thru this...find out why it keeps happening....etc.
Later,
Nice to see ya,
M
