Annabelle - -

Read some stuff on Attachment Theory and Object Relations Theory.

What you're describing sounds like you might be attempting to internalize your therapist - which is a good thing - not a bad thing. It's an even better good thing that you are very aware of what's taking place inside you.

If you read about those two things, it might help you feel less 'bad' about what you're feeling - - which might help you get the most out of the process. I think it also might help if you can talk to your therapist about how worried you are about it. If you can't say the words, then hand him the posts you've written. When you find out that he understands it, and doesn't think it's *weird* or *bad* - maybe that will soothe you.

It has helped me a lot to be as open as possible with my therapist about things like that.
