> I'm getting to see a little more of her humor these days. Still think of her as "not-MY-T" and shared that with her and am working to think of her by name. Connection is not really there yet.

I think I see some affection between the two of you sneaking its way in there.... ;-)attachment is probably close behind... it'll be a whole different relationship that the one with the therapist you were bonded with for so long.. but may fit some needs you didn't even know you had. Maybe having a different word than 'T' for this one would help? Maybe thinking of her as 'Counselor' or something would help keep this new relationship from bumping up against the other one - keep it separate - maybe make it feel more like an 'addition' than a replacement?
