Yes, I was being provocative with the subject. Just in that kind of mood :)
What my therapist is not is mushy. He doesn't believe in "tea and sympathy" as he says. He's not a soft cushion that I can curl up next to. He's all angles and edges. Perhaps more like a diamond than a cushion, if I'm not overdoing the metaphor. He's brillant and yes, there is a warmth deep inside. But not cozy.
And for me that's for the best. As much as I sometimes envy the support and attachment that I hear other Ts give, I think I may have fled long ago if he ever tried that route. Perhaps it is more like an older brother, as you say, than a mother.
I'm glad that you're making some progress with your therapist. It's certainly not easy, is it?
