In reply to Re: My therapist has no sexual attraction for me, posted by philyra on February 22, 2007, at 23:18:33
Dear Philyra, Thank you for your gentle and constructive suggestion. It is, of course, the wise route. I just feel so tired. Therapy is so much harder than I ever thought. After getting done with a session like yesterday's, at first I feel I'll be fine, no big deal. Later that evening I get a profound letdown and gutted-out feeling. I thought being sexually attracted to another of the opposite sex (this is for me) was just being human. So, if he has no counter attraction, however uninvited and fleeting, what does that say about me? I can hear what I'm saying and I'm putting too much power with him. I guess that's another core issue to investigate. But, it just gets to me and feels like I keep walking up the same old mountain every week with a new issue that I need to summon up all my courage and energy to deal with in the first place. And, when he said to not expect him to share so much about his life usually, I felt hurt and extremely annoyed. The little kid in me wanted to say "aw, just keep it to yourself, ya think I care?" Of course, I care a lot and I'm not even sure why he was making such a big deal out of what he said which was basically how he views the world as a whole, blah, blah, blah. Maybe I should have told him I planned to leak the info. to a tabloid! SHOCKING REVELATION: SHRINK TALK PERSONAL PHILOSPHY!!!!!(ha,ha, just a bit of levity). Maybe HE should lighten up a bit.
Thanks for listening, Widget
