Is T supposed to show us this? I like my T but I really don't see how I can get shown this with once/month appointments, especially as she seems to be a 'client has all the answers inside them' T who never gives me anything of herself, as in I know nothing about her and she won't even tell me if she had a good holiday!!! She just sits and listens, which is nice, but I don't learn how to do anything different...

I know this I really do, but I still want someone to take care of me, even though that also completely terrifies me!

WePow, it sounds as if you have a very wise T, especially about the bit where we feel we don't have anything inside us. Thank you for sharing that
