Being needy or dependent or vulnerable is ok and especially in therapy. I wonder if you began to feel safe when she responded to you outside of therapy previously, that her taking time for you proved her cared for you and that she was a trustworthy person, it helped cement the bond and her reaction the other day was more distant and rejecting, like she was saying that she wasn't going to be that person for you. Maybe you're feeling a bit cheated? Like she's rejecting you.
Yes. Exactly. That's exactly how it feels. But that's also weird because she has helped me so much over the past few months and it really felt (feels?) like she cares about me (even though whenever I ask her this, her response is, "I care about all my clients" and I pretty much need to just be satisfied with that...) so I don't know if this is me being oversensitive or not...or if that's even what a T is supposed to be...
