My
therapist,Kathi,
and
I
are
kind
of
stagnant.
I
mean
she
does
help
and
she's
helped
me
a
lot
in
the
last
almost
8
years,
but
I
also
feel
as
though
our
relationship
is
more
of
a
friendship
thantherapeutic.
It
helps
to
go
to
her
weekly
to
talk
but
little
is
ever
offered
that
is
new
or
too
helpful.
That
being
said,
there
was
a
psychologist
I
seemed
to
attach
to
while
I
was
in
the
hospital
program
at
Northridge
back
in
08.
We've
kept
in
touch
over
the
years
I've
always
respected
her
and
have
felt
kind
of
attached.
Well,
she
moved
to
North
Carolina
last
year.
Anyway,
I
have
recently
contacted
her
with
frustration
towards
Kathi
and
she
said
that
she'd
be
willing
to
take
me
on
as
a
client.
We
would
do
phone
sessions
or
skype
sessions.
I
told
her
that
I
know
for
sure
that
I
cannot
leave
Kathi.
It's
a
very
deep,
rooted
relationship
and
attachment
that
I
cannot
see
myself
leaving.
I'm
just
not
strong
enough
and
I
don't
know
that
I'll
ever
be.
I
feel
like
I
would
kill
myself
if
I
couldn't
see
her
anymore.
We've
been
through
so
much
over
the
last
8
years.
She
knows
everything
and
i
can't
lose
her.
I
mentioned
that
it
would
be
ideal
to
see
both
of
them
and
she
said
she'd
be
willing
to
do
that...either
every
other
week
or
once
a
month,
if
Kathi
agrees
too.
It
is
going
to
be
a
bit
more
money
though,
because
Janolyn
charges
more.
Although
this
seems
ideal,
there
are
a
lot
of
concerns
I
have
and
I
am
very
stuck
and
overwhelmed
with
the
decision
I
need
to
make.
First
of
all,
it
will
be
very
hard
to
not
have
that
face
to
face
contact
with
a
therapist
and
I'm
not
a
good
phone/skype
person.
I
feel
like
I
need
that.
Also
knowing
she
is
all
the
way
on
the
other
side
of
the
country
is
hard
for
me
and
my
attachment
and
ocd
issues.
I
know
I'll
get
attached
to
her
and
that
is
hell.
I
will
I
go
from
seeing
Kathi
weekly
to
every
other?
She
said
that
it's
sometimes
hard
to
have
dual
therapist
because
issues
arise
between
siding
up
with
one
therapist
if
the
other
says
something
you
don't
agree
with,
etc.
I
see
issues
like
who
would
I
go
to
when
I
have
problems?
Kathi
is
a
lot
more
available,
while
Janolyn
(that's
her
name)
is
more
professional
and
has
more
boundaries
which
might
be
hard
for
me,
but
I
know
is
necessary
to
atherapeuticrelationship.
Janolyn
has
a
holistic
mind/body/spiritual
technique
which
might
be
good.
I
just
thought
it
would
be
beneficial
to
gain
a
new
approach/perspective
to
things
and
still
have
Kathi
there
as
well.
I
guess
all
this
is
moot
if
Kathi
does
not
agree
to
it.
I
see
her
Thursday
and
if
I
decide
I
am
interested
in
pursuing
this
I
have
to
someone
come
up
with
a
way
to
bring
it
up
to
her
nicely.
I
don't
have
any
idea
how
to
because
I
feel
like
she
will
be
hurt
and
feel
like
she
isn't
helping
and
will
abandon
me.
If
she
doesn't
agree,
I
don't
know
what
I'll
do
and
if
she
does
agree
I
will
be
worried
she's
hurt
or
mad
at
me
and
will
retreat
more.
I'm
just
a
mess
about
this
right
now.
I'm
very
depressed,
anxious
and
overwhelmed
and
I
feel
like
hurting
myself.
I
am
horrible
with
decisions
and
change
and
this
is
a
big
one.
I'm
leaning
towards
trying
out
the
every
other
week
thing
with
both,
if
Kathi
agrees,
but
I
guess
I'm
just
asking
you
for
some
advice
on
this,
if
you
have
any. Thanks
all!
