Squiggle, I have never thought there were boundries in sessions as far as what you say to them.
I can understand you not wanting to go over the same things time and time again. If she has gone over these things a few times, and you've had no reaction, then why does she continue? Maybe you need a new T.

What I meant was that she is not my friend. A friend would be emotional at times, or just act different. It is her job to help me figure out what I need to do and not try to tell me what to do. She doesn't talk with me like a friend would. That is why we seek out therapists. They are neutral.
I don't mean to sound like she is not compassionate or anything, but she does keep a poker face most of the time. Yes, she laughs and does show emotion at times, but not like she is going to cry with me about something I am upset about. She hands me a tissue! She keeps herself professional.
She is not the one who brings up the same things, I do. That is why I feel so dumb about it. I worry that she is tired of me talking about it. Of course, she says that she is not. She tells me that if I need to talk about it, then there are some parts that we have not worked through yet. I think I am making her sound like a bad therapist. She's not. This is just me venting a little frustration, that's all.
