I tend to rely on my FP for reassurance in everything, sometimes as often as every few minutes. This has been the case with my current boyfriend, who seems to like this dynamic since it keeps us bonded so closely. The problem is that it makes it very hard to work on developing sense of independence, or to actually get anything done on my own, and so I’ve begun replacing the need for reassurance from FP with journaling, to be ‘my own FP’. I have been doing it for many months now and it helps me a lot.
