Hi Sunny, looking at yourself closely in therapy can cause some anxiety, especially when you realize that you need to bring stuff up that you would rather forget.
Your description of your family bothering you sounds very anxiety provoking.
It is okay to have a weaker side. We all have both a strong side and a weaker side. When you grow up in an abusive family you just want to forget this "weaker" side but it is important when you are in a healthy environment.
Do you think that allowing your T to be concerned about you/get closer to you scares you a bit because you have this big thick wall up for protection and it is scary to let anyone beyond this?
