Boy! Do I know it! Sigh. That's true for everything in my life.For the abandonment issues with my therapist, the only thing that worked was repetition. The other day I asked him if he realized that he was now more often questioning whether I would quit therapy than I am questioning whether he would terminate me. And he, surprised, answered that he guessed I was right, that I didn't constantly question him anymore. And when I told him I almost pretty much believed he wouldn't terminate me against my will, he shouted "Alleleluiah!!" So it can happen, if you've got the time and patience.

I always like to do that if I have something I really want to address. It helps me focus.
