Xtree,
I feel like that alot as well. For me its the thought of not wanting to allow someone that control over me in fear of being hurt again. I'm afraid to be really vunerable because I am afraid my T will use it against me.
I often wonder if thats a good thing to do, so I test it by allowing myself to be a little bit vulernable, then something happens, and I want to pull right back up into my shell where I have some sense of safety.

If my T said what yours did, I woud immediately assume she was trying to get rid of me. I mentioned something like that to my T recently. I'ts like I am constantly waiting for her to fail me. But on the other hand it's so frustrating because I want to trust her.
If I ever became a T, I would be so very sensitive with the use of words with my patient's and offering of opinions would be out of the subject.
I would say one time. I want you to know if you ever need a break, its ok to take one, I would never think badly of you for that and I would keep your spot open and waiting just for you.

I often think that T's who have been through things must make the best therapist having been there and knowing what its like. I am pretty convinced they would. Not that people who haven't can't be good therapist, but how can they truly relate in a sense?
Ok , I went way off track there
