My therapist is actually pretty good at admitting his flaws, for the most part. He's definitely either totally oblivious to what's going on, or he's doing a good job pretending. Or denying.
I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be better for me to take a therapy vacation for a while. But then I get terrified I'll be terminated and all good sense goes out the window. I become a squalling two year old again.
Sigh. I definitely have that intense fear of abandonment.
He's fundamentally a good guy, however flawed he might be.
It also occurs to me that this might be my fault. I sometimes bring therapy stories to him about other therapists. We both joke that if he were to step out of line, I'd be sure to tell him because I really value therapeutic boundaries. Maybe he thought I was trying to tell him something about our therapy. I wasn't. He really is detached enough to not have any violations of boundaries be a major issue with him.
