Dag, hearing more about this guy--I think definitely
dump him--he is not helping you. You might be attached
to him, but it sounds more like an unhealthy dependence--
like the way a child is dependent upon an neglectful/abusive
parent. (or a battered spouse as John D said)
It sounds to me like you are repeating a childhood
pattern with the shrink---you were neglected as a
child and now seek out others who will neglect you
and treat you like you don't matter. A good shrink
would see this and work with you on these issues--he
obviously is not making the connection and being helpful
to you. Ugh. This upsets me too. Please find someone
else.
