Do What You Have To Do by Sarah McLachlanWhat ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has lead you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...And I have the sense to recognize that
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
that I don't know how
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you goA glowing ember
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only youI know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go.

I am just feeling that I have to give up my longing for my T . I just don't know how. He means a lot to me, he is my soul mate. But I know in the end of therapy I have to give him up. It just makes me sad to have a special connection to someone I can't have a personal relationship with. It really hurts to have to lose him.

I love that song..and most of Sarah's...
I have a very special relationship with my T, I love her dearly, I know that it's different from what you share, because your T is a man and you have a different kind of feeling...I view my T more like a mother..
Well , but what I wanted to say is that the connection is so real and unique..that I can't imagine her not being part of my life- and I don't want that..and I don't feel she will stop being part of my life. She won't ever (I hope!) close the doors for me..I feel after T, (a loooong way from now), I'd go to see her every now and then, I would stay in touch, I would call her if I need to...it doesn't have to end..the connection I feel with her is one of those once-in-a-lifetime connections you feel with people.I wish the same for you, maybe you don't have to think about an end...maybe it doesn't have to be that way...
hugs to you,
Frida>

HF, Do you think you will be terminating therapy soon?
I know that I've probably got at least 1.5 yrs left, but I'm already worried about termination. I'm dreading it really. My T is a mother-figure for me and it will be very hard to let go. The one thought that gives me comfort is that my T has had a huge influence on the woman that I have become. As such, she is part of me and cannot leave my life no matter what.
Endings are always hard.
Best,
EE
