And then you would continue to explain to me the rules of the therapeutic relationship. And it would be pointed out to me that, like usual, I expect too much from people and I hope they would voluntarily be there for me and it's very good I brought this up at this time because it's an issue we need to continue to address.

And I would think, "Yep, it's my fault again. I care too deeply."
Forgive me for being skeptical about how a T could make it be o.k. I agree with you that this situation could never feel good.
Thanks for this!
