I don't think you need apologize to your t, although I understand how you feel like you should. I often feel the same way and actually do end up apologizing because otherwise i feel bad about myself! But, really, I think we're harder on ourselves than we need to be. Our t's are used to dealing with clients who express all sorts of strong emotions and resistances. They also understand how very hard it is to trust them enough to reveal painful things.
Yes, there are times I've felt a bit resentful that my t seems to have it all together. In fact, once I told her in a message that I didn't think she could understood me because she seems to live a charmed life with friends and family and world travel and all sorts of clients who adored her. I don't recall now how she replied, but she didn't disagree!
Really, though, I'm sure she has her problems. I've always wondered why she has pictures of her kids in her office but none of her husband? (I'd never ask though.) She rarely ever talks about her family, but she did tell me once that she and her husband had an argument about whether or not they were going to use a vacuum sealer with their food. Hubby was all for it, and she didn't want to. Funny, eh?
