Hi, I have the 'luck' to see this dilemma from 2 pts. of view. I saw my T. for 8 months when I was 29. I was in love with her. Call it transference or whatever it sure felt like love. She is extremely self disclosing which made me feel I was at her house for a visit and not for therapy. I think she needs to fill up air space because I am not very talkative. I am now 53 and have been seeing her again for 2 yrs. What had occured between the ages of 29 and 53 was at first the feeling of a powerful loss which then slowly faded into an occasional thought of her The obsession was still there but oh so mild. I left her a message yesterday that I was not coming back because I think my attachment to her is harmful to me. I have no tranference with my pdoc and I feel alot safer with him. ps I think my T. lied big time about something a few weks ago and that contributed to my dumping her. I am sure I will be depressed. terrics
