She always tells me she can handle whatever I throw at her feet but still... This is like way weird. And she always tells me she "looks forward to struggling days" and that she really likes me and I'm one of her favorites. but I consider myself an easy client. I show up everytime. I pay everytime. I never contact her between sessions and I don't freak out on her with emotions all the time. but if i go to her with all this weird stuff about her and start showing all these crazy emotions she's not gonna like me anymore.

I mentioned it once, when I was really angry and going on and on about all the things that I was angry about. I said something like "I hate that your life is so perfect and mine is so ****ed up." He didn't show any particular reaction .... he was taking notes of what I was ranting and raving about. I don't see any reason in my case to bring it up. My emotions are for what I missed growing up - they're not really about him. I'm angry with my parents for what they didn't give me, and I can tell by the kind of anger it is, it's a childish anger, not an adult one. I feel like stamping my feet and just throwing a tantrum!!
So I can't give advice as to whether you should bring this up. But I am sure that your T will understand completely if you do. I think it's pretty common, actually, and I might be doing myself a disservice by not talking to T about it more. Usually what I talk about are the things that are bothering me the most, and this isn't at the top of the list right now. But if it's at the top of yours, please don't be afraid she won't like you. I'm sure she's heard it all before!!
