<p>Perhaps I should get in touch with the school, or maybe some of my old classmates.</p>
<p>I suppose this is just what I needed: another impossible social problem. At thirty, I would think that I ought to have grown out of these by now.</p>
<hr />
<p>Often times, when I work with a therapist, we converse quite freely and with essentially no friction. I do not know whether that&rsquo;s a thing that therapist-clients engender, necessarily. I&rsquo;ve had my fair share of clients who were incredibly easy to talk with. Not that they&rsquo;re likeable, or at least not only because of that, but that our sessions &mdash; me and those clients, and me and my therapists &mdash; tend to move forward with a sense of purpose.</p>
<p>In my clients&rsquo; case, these ones in particular are there for a purpose. To get better, to understand their trauma, to do the work. Not just take a pill (as I am not a prescribing doctor) or do the meditation and be cured of depression, but to really understand it, unravel it, and wind it back up into something neater than before.</p>
<p>In my case, I am here to do the job of improving myself and Jeremy is here to do his job of guiding me along that path.</p>
<p>My path of improvement, as I suspect must be the case with many of my colleagues, is to cope better with the process of taking on others emotions. A good therapist has to have empathy, after all, and I do try to be a good therapist. We don&rsquo;t simply let emotions slide off of us in order to be some impartial observer, we have to feel a little bit of what our clients are feeling as well in order to truly work with them.</p>
<p>So it is that most often, I work through processing the residual trauma of the past two weeks&rsquo; clientele with Jeremy. Sometimes we&rsquo;ll get onto something that goes a bit deeper, digs further into the past, though perhaps less often than he would like.</p>
<p>Lately, though, we&rsquo;ve been spending more time talking about Kay and, along with that, the friction between us has grown.</p>
<p>I started to feel it in earnest today, and, being the good little therapist that I am, I took a step back and examined my feelings and brought that up with Jeremy: &ldquo;</p>
<p>(Dee at therapy, brings up his unwillingness to talk even though it&rsquo;s been two weeks, saying that he doesn&rsquo;t want to say something to her that she might feel obligated to say yes to without actually wanting that, Jeremy brings up vulnerability)</p>

<p>(Just trying to be the best he can for her - more on limerence)</p>
