"When she can clearly see that I can't ask and also clearly see what I need, she will often meet that need." >>> but Blessed Rhiannon, how long have you gone to your T? Aren't there things that you would be able to legitimately expect that your T would be aware are difficult for you? I understand the mind reading thing, I guess... I guess with my T I just think it's unfair that after 3 years she can't just reach out to me at a difficult time. After 3 years, she doesn't know what is difficult for me! Sigh, sorry, I'm a little worked up.

tigergirl>> That's a good insight about how I may be retaliating. My therapist asked me at the end of my last session, "So are you coming back to therapy?" I was so taken aback and, honestly, mad that she would wait until the end to ask that question which for me is so difficult. Is she that out of touch? Is SHE testing ME? Does she "know" that I'm going to come back? I hadn't even considered myself as having "left" therapy. My insurance cut out. So idiotic. I told her I wouldn't be back for at least 3 weeks. I'm thinking now that maybe I'll make an appointment with a different T...
