Happy, I've been in just the same situation as you are now. There was an initial scary but thrilling connection, which made me feel full of hope and good possibilities, followed by my deepest feelings- a terrible fear of aloneness and abandonment (mother issues). My therapist doesn't try to deal with those with phone calls or extra sessions, but we do both work very hard on it during the sessions I have scheduled. But I do have three a week, so I'm able to manage between them. You've had such a great relationship with your therapist with all the more adult parts of your self- that is so wonderful. But now a deeper, much lonelier and sadder part is emerging. I hope you won't give up therapy- I'd say that you really need it more frequently right now. Can you talk this out with him? He has always sounded like he's really able to listen and understand what your real needs are.
