Hi Dinah,
just a gut feeling that as you improve (and I know that's difficult to believe sometimes), the dependency issue will work itself out- and I just bet that's how your therapist feels. Since my disastrous relationship with my ex-shrink, I have never become dependent on any subsequent pdocs or therps- I know it's a way of protecting myself. I do feel I trust both of my docs now, I just am not dependent on them- sometimes going 2 months w/o seeing either of them (and not missing them). I value both and feel they help me- but I truly don't know if my 'distancing' has hindered progress, although not going for extended periods certainly must have an effect. sorry for rambling, I do understand feeling dependent and the fears of abandonment that go hand-in-hand. take care, judy
