Thanks for the replies! I think I will bring it up again and get it straight or straighter, haha (since we have had this type of conversation before). I do know he wants me to be more inner directed as far as what to do or to cope more by journaling or other self soothing "tricks". In the past he has looked at me funny with that look when I ask if it is bothering him. He usually says that the things that go on are not "new" and are ongoing and that we can talk about them at sessions and that we wont get them "solved" over email or even in a week....I think mostly I just want him when I'm feeling upset or overwhelmed or depressed.
