Witti--
I found reading this post very moving, as the issues you describe are so similar to mine. I find myself enacting the same cycles with others, both friends and significant others--and certainly with my therapist. Once as I was sitting there waiting for her to demonstrate enough caring for that particular session, she said, "I feel like I'm annoying you!" which was so the opposite of what I was feeling inside.I should say that you, too, have a good point. No matter how much caring my therapist demonstrates, it doesn't fix the deep abandonment issues--and self-loathing--that I feel. It only helps me to trust her enough to stay so that we can work on that.
