She does sound like a good therapist.
I don't think intimacy fears are my problem. We've been through that territory I think, and settled into a high degree of trust and my dependence on him is acknowledged by both of us. Perhaps the next step is lessening the dependence, and that may be something I'd rather avoid.
I think from what you've said now and in the past that you do still have a lot to work on with your therapist before you feel totally comfortable with her. But on the other hand, perhaps therapy is just sometimes dull and unproductive?
Does anyone remember the Alan Alda movie, The Four Seasons? In it he describes marriage as a wave with peaks and troughs. Perhaps a long term therapeutic relationship is the same way. Of course you're paying for therapy.
Let's get to a peak already!
