I've told my T countless times that I hate the word need, don't want to appear needy etx. I forget how I said it and she replied "you don't want to be needy or don't want me to see you as needy". I said the second one. She said it's ok to need when you're going through deep stuff. OMG I just realized this was reassurance on her part! I've been complaining she doesn't reassure me. Hmmm
