Hi Mikki,

I hope it works out with this Jim if you think he can help. I just hope whoever you end up seeing will keep things on a more professional therapist/patient basis. I think that last one got way too personally involved in your life and you got way too attached to him. That's not right. He shouldn't be allowed to work in this profession. I mean, there's something wrong when you end up needing a therapist to get over an old therapist. He should have never crossed the line but he did. He probably needs to be in therapy himself. There's obviously something wrong with him which makes me wonder how much he can really help anyone.

I still think you were on to something before Lent when you said you wanted to be more self-reliant. Therapy is great but it needs to be on more of a professional basis. Not saying the therapist can't feel like a friend but both sides need to remember that it's a therapist/patient relationship. But going back to what you said before Lent... I do think that you are stronger than you realize. I've seen you give great advice to people on the depression boards for years and I've been amazed at how insightful you were at times. Now if you could learn to do a little more relying on your own insight and strength. I think a lot of times if we could step back and look at things rationally or if it was someone else dealing with the situation we'd be able to see what needs to be done but we get so caught up in the emotions we are feeling that we find it hard to do that.

Anyway, good luck..

Love,
Sandy
