I’ve name changed for this.
I’m after some help and advice on my relationship with my therapist. I’ve been having sessions with a psychotherapist for just over a year now. We are working on some hard things and I finally feel like I can trust her and we have built up a good working relationship. However, I find that I am getting more reliant on her support and am finding that in between sessions I look for support from her. She is happy to give this and will text me or reply to my texts or she will call and support me if I let her know I’m really struggling. I do appreciate her support so much. She texts me little encouragements and positive thoughts throughout the week and reminds me that she is thinking of me. I find it hard because I have major trust issues and I find myself trusting her completely and so much so that when my treatment is finished, I am not going to have her anymore and I think I’m going to find this really hard. She is one person who treats me with respect and dignity in a way I haven’t been treated for a long time. How do I stop myself feeling so reliant on her but still continue to have a relationship with her where therapy works. It is long term therapy and she says we could potentially be working together for a number of years. How do I find a balance?
