Somedays I can accept the limiations of the therapeutic relationship easier than other days. Perhaps its because I won't be seeing my therapist for three weeks, yet I can't let her go in my mind. Three weeks seems like such a long time. Then I get mad at myself for being so pathetic. It frustrates me so much that I spend so much time thinking about it. I'm just not having a very good day. Some days I seem to keep things in much better perspective than others. Its good that you can appreciate the benefits of the therapeutic relationship without wanting more. Of course, you get to see your therapist twice a week. I see mine once per week if I'm lucky. Anyway, thanks for listening to me and talking to me about this. It helps to know that there are other people out there who understand. This is not something I feel conmfortable discussing with any of my friends, not to mention that none of them are around right now. The whole damn world is on vacation!
