I don't *think* I'm worried it will end. But then I have been talking about termination a lot the last couple of sessions. At first my therapist played the what if game with me. But at some point he said something like "Wait a minute. None of this is happening or is in danger of happening. This is a discussion built on nothing." So maybe...
It is an anniversary of therapy earlier this month. The fourth. I suppose there may be that looking back aspect still hanging around. But I wasn't thinking about his behavior in those days until he specifically asked me what it was about him that I liked, as opposed to all those other therapists. Which led me to think about it and wonder myself. :)
As you know, I'm very realistic about my therapists strengths and weaknesses. But lately I've begun to have the uneasy feeling that I'm still idealizing him. Although I haven't for the life of me figured out how.
