It sounds like you feel good about your session and moving forward with your T Im glad you have found support on this board. I can relate to your notion of wanting T to be open and honest so that you know she's not ********ting you with a professional facade. This is important to me too because I often worry my T doesn't really like me or thinks I'm annoying as heck and pretends not to be bothered. I'd rather he share both positive and negative responses as it would help him to feel more "real" to me.
