I'm leaving in about an hour. Been writing down random thoughts and feelings since yesterday, I think I will try to combine them into some sort of agenda for me to follow while I'm there.

I have a real sense that these last 2 sessions have been mostly focused on T and HER needs (to set limits, etc) and her wants. I think it's fair for me to want the focus to shift back to me and back to helping me cope with my life and my feelings. I am going to set some boundaries of my own, and one of those is that I will keep in mind that T is a real person with other clients and life outside of work, but that I don't have to worry about those things. She is the T and the one with the experience, skills, and resources (both inner and outer) to deal with both her life and her role as my therapist. I can't cloud my thinking with worries about her stress level or her other clients or her home life, etc etc.
