I don't want T to see me. Which is strange because usually all I want is to feel truly seen by T.

the 'shame of being seen to be human', and I think this has been such a key feeling for me throughout my life.
This ^ is something. It might not have come from an abusive family but something caused this.

I wasn't abused but I knew something was very wrong with my family. Years later I was able to piece together that my problems came from emotional neglect. Heck, I just had a FB conversation with one of my cousins and she had no clue to this day what it was like inside my family.

I think that your session can be very productive today. Good luck to you and I would love to come along too!
