Something I hate is that when there is a rupture in any normal social relationship, you're free to contact the other person at any time to say, "Hi, we really need to talk about this--I am upset, and I want to work things out," but when you have a spat with your therapist, you just have to wait to address it until your allotted time rolls around, and by that point, you've probably forgotten lots of little insights that might have proved productive had you been able to communicate them when you actually had them, and your feelings have probably weakened somewhat, or changed in subtle ways, and everything feels hopeless and artificial and unfair. Well, that's how it is for me, anyway. Interestingly, ever since my therapist admitted his attraction, I've been even *more* annoyed and saddened by our lack of contact between sessions. I'm disappointed, I guess--it's like, "Hey, if you really like me as much as you say you do, then why won't you give me MORE of yourself?" And I know that's irrational, and that he CAN'T give me certain things without crossing serious, serious boundaries, but, wow, this is hard. Sorry for going on about this. I'm having a rough day.
