After 10 minutes or so, she finally started asking me some things. I didn't answer much of anything she said.

I was hoping that I would have a breakthrough point and feel so much better, but I didn't. I couldn't go there for some reason. My thoughts went to how I long to just be held. Have someone hold me and make me feel loved and safe. This is when I started crying again. She asked me what the tears were about. I said, "I don't know". I did not want to tell her. We have talked about my marriage for the past year. Nothing is going to change, so why bring it up again.

She kept on asking me "Your tears tell me that you feeling something. Can you tell me what you are feeling?

Dead silence. Once again she asked, "Squiggle, why have you come today? What do you need to happen in this session? What do you need from me today?"

I didn't say a word. Just looked at her and said nothing.
It seems like you were protecting yourself. It's so tough (almost impossible) to talk about that which hurts so much. If we let loose, what might happen?

I must say though that I don't really like her questions, "why have you come today...?" I know for myself, I go to T because I'm so confused. I would not be able to always answer such questions. Except maybe say, "I need help but I don't know for what or how." I have shut down before also and it comes from fear and confusion.
