I was rereading this thread after an interesting session with my T. this week. I think I have finally told her all my feelings regarding her. Just took 3 months. LOL. I, for the thousandth time, told her again I don't like feeling close to her and want to go back to the sessions when I didn't. She used to ask why. This time she asked "why is it a bad thing"? I just stared at her. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it seemed to be the first time she was giving me permission to feel this way. I had once asked her to tell me to embrace them or fight them and she said she can't. This has been my best week because I feel like it's ok now. Just an update!
