To be fair, I think maybe it might be that I interpreted that more harshly than she intended it - she said specifically what she wants is for me to "flex my independence muscle" because her job is to make me more independent...which I have no issue with at all, and since I've been seeing her I've been way better at regulating my own emotions and having healthy boundaries with other people and dealing with a lot of really tough things in a really mature way. I guess I just don't see the harm in needing her a little bit, for now at least. And it feels really good to have the person that I tell practically everything to care about me - or more importantly, it feels really scary that she might not, even though part of me knows she DOES but just for her own reasons doesn't want to tell me so...I guess I just have to figure out if I can be okay with that or not.
