Yes. And he knows it. This is particular to suicidal thoughts.

When I ask, "will you be here Monday?" he turns it back on me, "Yes, will you?" When I make him promise, he makes me promise too. And while he always says that he wishes there were other reasons to want to live (there are), for now, he'll take being the anchor. I don't ever want to hurt him and he told me once how devasting it is to lose a patient.

I think it is totally OK for your therapist to assume this role for you as you grow your own core that will take over this role. Self-psychology is sort of premised on this.

Have you told your therapist this? Sounds important...
