Oh, I know that Hank; it's all just grist for the mill. Something has come up in my life that's triggering the want to be equal and the desire to get to know her. I think I may know what is triggering the "equality" issue but would be too controversial to discuss on the forum; I think her sharing so much about herself in my last session triggered the "get to know" desire. Hopefully when I discuss it with her Friday, it will resolve. I don't want to go backwards; I'd gotten to a good place...I'll get back there, dammit!!

Where I work, the dynamic with clients is different than with a T. It's more about total life involvement than a one-hour a week service. I think your T has a good point.
