Who is? Not me, certainly! I still get very easily upset and depressed, although I have had a lot of good times in the year just past. It's mostly just a feeling of having what I need inside me, rather than outside me, so that I have to be with him in his office to get what I need.
He's 68, and just had a health scare about bladder cancer ( turned out to be stones), so you are right: there is a practical aspect to all of this. But I do think that I have partially internalized him. If I hadn't, I would be fighting to see him, without regard for illness or the passage of time. I wonder why I was able to accomplish this with him, and not at all with the previous analyst. The real reasons are probably beneath consciousness.
