Well, I think that she does need to know about the mother stuff that she's going to want to know about on Friday to be able to understand anything else...it's so exhausting to have to retell all this all over again. But I know she won't understand my attachment issues without that important information, so telling her about T issues or mentor figure issues or the issues I'm having this week leaving so many people behind (classmates for the summer, my favorite professor who I won't see again because she's moving back to the states, old T, possibly mentor figure who I might not see again after tomorrow) and how that's bringing up other stuff for me would be counterproductive because she wouldn't have the context needed to respond properly to it...

I feel like she might be able to give me what I need eventually, but asking feels like it might be starting things off on the wrong foot...especially since I don't trust her enough yet to trust her response. We've only had three sessions...
