Really...it never occured to me that he would react like this. I took the advice here and asked for a referral. He asked me straight out if there was a problem,if I was uncomfortable, etc. I was so shocked! "No! No!" I said. "I'm totally OK with you. I don't want to share -- which is why I need someone good so I don't feel guilty about them not having you!" He laughed at that but insisted that he wanted to know if ever I was unhappy with him. Glad to know he wants to keep me! :)
We talked (again) about how hard all this is for me: trusting, allowing myself to need, having this huge desire to take care of him, etc. I really hope that calms down soon. Therapy itself is almost as much to deal with as the issues that brought me there!
Anyway -- thanks for the advice. Sheesh, only 4 people even know I HAVE a Therapist and look at this mess! :)
