NEW FLASH! She has one now that is (or was) experiencing both of them. I really want to talk with about it, but I feel that she is a bit closed on this topic. She has no idea that I am struggling with this. Being that I have tried to sneak this topic in during a few therapy sessions, I was hoping she would get the hint.
That is what I am afraid of with my T. Not being able to approach the subject openly and not being able to tell her how I really feel. I love her a lot, but like a really good friend. I guess I think of her like a motherly figure too....I wish she could cuddle me like a mother would a child. I mean she knows more about me than anyone ever has.....so I should be able to tell her this, right?!
