Would you believe that my therapist actually told me to avoid the whole thing and act like nothing ever happened when I saw my friend again? That was yesterday afternoon; a few hours after the emergency T appointment. It did, indeed, work; but, it's a loss to grieve. I had wanted a very genuine and honest relationship with my special teacher-friend; but my T doesn't think she's the kind of person who can really talk about herself within a relationship. We can certainly talk about lots of other things, but if there are problems between us, they will probably have to be ignored, rather than worked through.
That makes me very, very sad. She's the only IRL person I've ever wanted that kind of relationship with and it probably won't ever be.
