Fierce Attachment to My Therapist

A psychoanalyst, who has herself in therapy for 20 years, is having great difficulty dealing with the retirement of her own therapist to whom she is fiercely attached. Rupert suggests that the silence and love that she feels is still there. All that is changing is the representation of that silence and love. Yet the field of silence and love is always here. Grief is the loss of the representation, not the loss of silence and love. Rupert uses the example of the love that remains since his mother passed. If anything, the love for his mother is brighter now. It is fine to grieve; no need to get rid of it.
