Thanks everyone. I know I should probably mention it to her, but I won't. Mostly I'm afraid if I push the issue, if she really thinks she is harming me in some way, she'll drop me early, and I really need her support right now. I agree with GG,in that I sometimes think my T is too invested in me (although, is that really a bad thing?), and I often wonder if she cares about me too much (??), and I sometimes question her competency (for lack of a better word) in treating long-term clients with complex issues, as opposed to the more surface, "college counseling" she is used to. With that said, I really value her as a person and the closeness of our relationship, whether right or wrong, and whether real or not (she keeps trying to convince me it's real and genuine, and I need to believe it is), or whether it is countertransferential on her part (I dont think so, at least not totally, but I could be wrong), is something I need right now. If it hurts me later on, then I'll have to deal with it then. But, I probably would have gotten hurt anyway; this is a weird relationship, to say the least.
Sorry for the babble.
And I apologize to shortelise, for temporarily stealing your post! Please forgive me!
