I had a dream last night. Two actually. About my therapist. To give some context: She’s nearing retirement in a couple of years. So she says. Although I have an asinine fear she’s going to leave prematurely. We’ve been seeing each other for 4 nearly 5 years. Weekly.
She’s a female. Obviously. As am I. I’m 32. Straight (for the most part).
Yet last night, my first dream was about a sexual relationship with her. We went out. Drinking. Then one thing led to another.
I woke up from that dream. Confused. Anxious. Fell back asleep. Then had another dream. That she was dropping me as a client because she was starting to see someone else that I knew/that knew me & it would be a conflict of interest. Obviously I know that wouldn’t happen. But I felt like that dream was a preview of her retiring or leaving suddenly or dropping me as a client. My anxiety has been more than extreme today.
I saw her this evening and I let her know the context of the second dream. Not the first. Although she gently pushed for information about the first. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her for fear that she would think that I was either A.) insane. B.) obsessed w her. C.) I projecting my ‘true’ feelings and it was coming out in a dream.
Regardless. I feel insane. I feel out of my mind. I feel like my anxiety will not subside.
I also know, the day I have to stop seeing her as my therapist, is the day my life completely spins out of control.
I don’t know what to do. #Therapist #dreams #confused #abandoment #help
