Guys, I'm kind of freaking out...

I told my T that I want to be a T yesterday, and I outright asked her if she had an opinion about it. I was interested in seeing what she thought because she knows my internal world better than anyone. Well, she kind of skirted the question and said that she would support me in anything I choose, even if I wanted to become a landscaper (unconditional positive regard). She said she thinks I should pursue what I want.

However, she said that as a T, she obviously does have opinions about who should and shouldn't go into the field. But she said she didn't think it was useful for me to know, just as it's not useful for me to know her opinions about other things. My T does have strong boundaries, and she seemed like she didn't want to talk about this because she said it was getting into more guidance counseling territory, which wasn't what she was there for.

I'm terrified she thinks I wouldn't make a good T, and that's why she's not sharing her opinion. I wish she would have told me what she really thought because I think it would be useful input. I do have some self-doubts about my abilities, and I'd like to know how others perceive both my strengths and weaknesses. It would honestly devastate me to know if her opinion was negative, but I feel so embarrassed seeing her now, not knowing if she secretly thinks I'd be incompetent and is judging me for wanting to be a T.

I feel like this relationship is so fake again...

What do you think I should do, since she doesn't seem to want to share her opinion? Do you think it sounds like her opinion is negative? Wouldn't she share it otherwise?
