Hi Pinksoil, I read some of this and my initial thought is that I agree. I want humanness too. I said something similar to my T once that his saying 'it is better to feel the pain between sessions' was easy for him to say.

As he trots off to the next client!!! My T used to be more empathetic and I feel now he's almost 'trying to kick babybird out of the nest'...

I had to inject some humor here. I use that phrase above when I talk to my brother...he's 35 and still lives at home...
