Yes, I understand very well what you're feeling. I'm glad the responses to my thread helped you. I have yet to go back and respond to all those wonderful replies! I know the big HURT feelings when you want to discuss your relationship with T and she wants to move on to what SHE thinks is more important. That's the way I felt yesterday at my session.

There could be more than one reason you, or I, or anyone else make therapy more about the T than about us. T's pull us in, like teasing us, in a sense. I told my T that on the phone tonight. I got my reassurance that she still likes me a lot, and I needed that. I emailed her that I think I'm always going to react to Ts the way I do, and I just have to accept it. No one person in RL can ever meet my needs the way she does.

You sound like you're going in a good direction with your thoughts and feelings about all of this. It's not easy!!
