how do you go about addressing a perceived rift in the therapeutic relationship? I go back and forth wanting to talk to him about it, but then I get scared/frustrated/anxious and I suddenly don't want to address it at all. Then I want to talk to him about it in the moment, but he is not available. It's a very push/pull thing with me. I don't like confrontation, and I feel like the rift is huge. But I don't want to just give up on therapy because of that (I don't really have anyone I can switch to seeing because not many places offer such a low sliding-scale fee). He is the only one in that office that has the reduced fee. I also really feel like I should try with him because he has worked hard to help keep me together... I know I don't communicate effectively. I know I need to learn that... but how do you overcome something that feels like such a huge and on-going issue? I really feel a lot of the time like he just doesn't understand me or what I am trying to communicate. And I don't know how to get past feeling so often misinterpreted.
