I also think it's going to be harder to feel comfortable trusting him to understand my point of view. Has anyone else had this difficulty with their t?

i can relate to this in a way. my t is very, very accomplished (she graduated first in her class in her doctoral program, and graduated with high honors in her graduate program and undergraduate program), and is involved in so many things at this moment in her life (private practice, teaching at a college, getting journal articles published, church commitments, raising young kids)... and she seems to be so successful and happy in all areas. it does make me wonder if she can relate to me. it also intimidates me a bit, thinking that - like you said - we're not on the same level. but, most of all, it makes me worry that she doesn't care about me as much as she claims to, because there is no way she can have a strong emotional attachment to so many areas in her life, right? i'm just a tiny, tiny part. and i also worry she'll quit her private practice and focus on everything else instead. i have weird and exhausting thought processes sometimes, not gonna lie, lol.
