>Sigismund--Can you elaborate on this?
I'd like to be able to, but it is so long ago now that I don't remember the details. We started on 3 times a week and within a few months were at 5. I liked what you said in another post about how easily attachment sometimes forms (I think?). Anyway a friend went to this same therapist and had a similar experience in the first couple of sessions. It was fairly psychoanalytic in that boundaries were very firm and I knew almost nothing about her (the therapist), in the sense of facts about her. I suppose they have their ways of doing this ie creating a sense of significance. I had to remind myself many times that what I was going through was nothing like a social interchange. I kept going forever, because that is my nature. Well, not forever, but 14 years or was it longer? It's more than 20 years ago now.
