Your story has to be one of the most touching sessions I have ever read about. You said you wanted to do discuss this and you DID! That is amazing in itself. I think you know this is just a beginning of this subject I think.

I think your T is seeing a part of herself that is responding to you as counter-transference, who know it could be her as a mother or maybe her as a daughter, there is probably some kind of dynamic at play. I think it was obvious in the previous stuff that happened with her and you. I am not sure if she should be thinking this out loud in front of you. Therapy should be about you, not her reactions. She should deal with those on her own. You can see how it did take away from the amazing job you did tonight. This should have been all about you and deserved a nice ending to that.

YOu did awesome Dreamer, I think your T is just now seeing just how awesome you are, and she is maybe feeling like you deserve so much more than her for a T.
