I know what you mean too. I have never had to really open up to my T in the past - just to solve general problems and didn't see her on a consistent basis. Due to my mom passing, these sessions have been more emotional (internally). Thursday I want to tell her that it's almost harder for her to be so sweet to me. I want to treat it as friendship but I'm worried down deep she is giving me what my mom never did - unconditional empathy/love/whatever you call it. I"m worried once I mention that, I will feel even more vulnerable and feel like she's even more of a friend. It was easier when there wasn't much between us. I don't want to tell her because I don't want things to change. Yet, I think I need to tell her so I can figure out why I feel this way and get me back to more of a regular relationship.
