If you have wondered if your t's issues are affecting your therapy, did you ask him/her about it? Do you think it is appropriate? Were you afraid it could be hurtful to him/her?

I don't mean necessarily affecting your therapy in an extreme way, but even if it is subtle. I think everyone's issues affect them, so t's issues must affect how they do therapy.

I'm afraid to ask my t about this though partly because it could be mean and hurtful to him if it's right. But more because he's so much better at communicating about this stuff than me I don't think he'd let anything I say hurt him or affect him very much, but if he disagrees, he can pretty easily hurt me.
