really? cool! I felt like I was starting to irk some of the folks here, which def. was not my intent! Hopefully you weren't being sarcastic. :) I've been reading some of the older posts to get a better feel for each individual & I like a lot of your posts too.

Take care!

These people are only human: They have quirks, foibles, desires for greaness, and petty sides sometimes too. I think sometimes the therapists LIKE it when people have super-glue transference b/c it makes them feel powerful, needed, controlling. The therapist of course has the desire to help others, but being human, of COURSE they are going to have other motivations as well. Keep that in mind.

Would you take that from a random guy in class, in a supermarket, in line at the post office? Be careful what kind of liberties you grant others who are just are troubled (if not more so) than you are.
