Doodle, I agree with others here who suggest you bring this topic up in therapy tomorrow. I think your feelings are pretty common . . .I know I've felt them many many times. In a sense, these feelings are triggered by the transference in therapy--it's "old stuff" from your childhood. Children hate to disappoint the important people in their lives and when they feel as though they're struggling or unable to keep up, to make it, it triggers feelings of failing and disappointing. Sometimes it means that your T will need to slow down. A bit of challenging is a good thing, but it needs to be carefully balanced with checking in with the client to see how they're handing the challenges. Your T can't know what you're thinking if you don't talk to her. Let her know what's going on in your head! Good luck tomorrow!
