Hi. I am struggling with this issue in my therapy right now. Last week my T said that he thinks sometimes I have something to tell him but I hold back. I told him he was right and he asked why. I told him that sometimes I feel ashamed, which is tru but I need to tell him tomorrow that I also hold back sometimes because I feel like this is my life (not his) and I don't want to feel too dependent on him. It's such a confusing issue. Sometimes I feel so close and sometimes I feel like he is pushing me away. I actually thought of quitting after last week. I've been seeing him for 6 months and I am often nervous. He has never mentioned transference and rarely comments on the relationship. I think the fact that this is a temporary relationship is why it's so difficult to stay close.
