I suppose it is healthy that I can lean on him when I need him. I give him a lot of credit for the fact that I've been able to connect with him. It's not at all usual for me. So maybe it's not that you're a failure. Maybe you just haven't felt the right connection. Although there were years where I couldn't figure out at all why I felt so connected to this person, and it wasn't at all a comfortable connection.
I've been reading "The Making of a Therapist" by Louis Cozolino. My therapist might have based his entire practice on this book, because they're pretty much describing him. He really really is good at some things.
I think my problems at work have a lot of layers. But the biggest layer is the one I described, and I don't know that there is a solution. I'd really like one though, because I feel so much better about myself when I feel competent.
