That's what I need to get better, not advice, not guidance. Do you think this is fair to expect from a T? She admitted she's being vulnerable when sharing her emotions but the reality is if she can't commit to providing that I pretty much have no use for her services anymore :/ I mean I like her and I'll miss her but now I'm thinking like, I don't want to play games anymore, I want what I want, you know??

dark_sweetie, wow you ask some really difficult questions. I will try to explain why it is so difficult. Everyone defines support, guidance, and advice differently. It is kind of confusing because even every T is different in how they relate to a client. I'm not sure what you expect from her.
I would want support and guidance from my T. Maybe I just define these words differently. I understand that they must keep a certain distance.
I don't think I helped at all but I am hoping someone else can relate to your situation.
