I'm doing that in this round of therapy, too. Previous therapy attempts have been very focused on a single issue and I fiercely guarded any other information. Not this time. I'm pretty much an open book with T.

I have developed a dependency on him, but I'm fine with that right now. He's been awesome and has actually encouraged my neediness as I go through my mother's terminal illness. He's told me that he wants me to lean on him as much as I need to for now, because I might not get as much support as I need from other sources. I struggle with letting myself do it, but when I can, it feels very good.
Thanks for this!
