Hi TG,
My T doesn't have grandkids yet!
So I guess we don't got the same T.
That woulda been SO funny if we had, we coulda played a seriously funny trick on her!!!LOL.
But mebbe our T's have stuff in common cuz they pastoral T's? I dunno. I spose they vary just like other T's.
My T's boundaries are loose too, which I find a little confusing at times.
I think I am stretching her abilities some, but she game to try so longs she doing no harm. I tried some gov't program and got the boot..
The whole T thing is hard to figger?
Is she like a fellow Christian?
Is she just a T ?(whatever THAT is)
Is she sorta a friend in a way?
I dunno WHAT she is.
I like to try and keep the boundaries a little tighter than she does, cuz if it gets too friend-like, then I don't feel as able to freely talk. And I start to worrying bout her wellbeing too much. Sides I dunno how friends work and stuff. I not so well socialized. I think I shock people sometimes cuz i say the wrong things.
Its a bit of a tightrope...
Take care,
Muffled

Indeed, it would have been hysterical to discover we were seeing the same T. I know what you mean about walking the tightrope of therapy. In my first few years with my T, I didn't want to tell her ANYTHING because I didn't trust her and I was already afraid she'd leave me. So we sat there, every week (sometimes twice/week)in nearly complete silence for the entire session for about four years. Then I opened up and things went swell for a while. Then it was harder to talk to her because we had gotten so close. Somehow, I'm over that now. I mean, it's still hard to bring up some things but I *do* bring them up and we talk through most everything.
But now she's on the verge of retiring, so I'm panicked about that most of the time.
SIGH...
By the way, I'm surprised to hear you say you don't consider yourself very social. That's not been my experience of you on Babble. You are one of the kindest, most social people on here. It appears to me that you go out of your way to respond to whoever is hurting at any given time. I'd be happy to count you as a friend IRL.
This is the end of the thread.
