I saw a CPN many years ago when I was at university and when she was pregnant she told me once that she had to speak to someone as she had felt like my mother. She probably shouldn't have said it, but when she was on maternity I barely spoke to her cover. I see a clinical psychologist now and I don't get the same feeling of 'care' but when he suggested once I saw someone else as he didn't think I could talk to a man about certain things I went into total meltdown and it surprised me. Nobody really listens for a whole hour and ever just talks about you and what you need or hears everything you need to talk about, so I can see why it is easy to get attached. He has said that when I need to stop seeing him it will be done gradually over time as he knows that I couldn't manage it otherwise and when he moved areas I transferred with him. If you still need to see someone it could be worth seeing your gp to get back on the waiting list.
