Also, social anxiety--trying to get myself to get out there more. He wants me to focus on my health and self-care more---If I hear the virtues of a daily workout again i'll scream.

Today I feel like "old stuff" is making me feel needy. He wasn't in an indulgent mood, he was more "life coach" than "T" today. I should appreciate the pushing but I just want to feel cared for for a few days before tackling this crap. Sometimes I wish we would revisit "old stuff" but sometimes I think he sees limited value in discussing the past, which is strange to say about a T.

When you are pushed by T, are you able to do the work? Right now, I'm not
No. When my T pushes too hard, I inadvertently burst into tears and shut down. Very little talking goes on after that. If she pushed in other areas, (not so sensitive/raw) then I would be willing to go there. But she keeps going for the raw one, and I really can't handle it.
