Congrats on starting grad school for something you've always wanted to do! Just to put this out there…but if you found it hard to tell your T you applied, got accepted, and started grad school…what will it feel like to tell her you did all that and two semesters went by and you never brought it up? You're omitting a big part of your life.

If you like this T maybe you should tell her you're studying to be a therapist…and more particularly why you have been so worried about telling her. I don't think it's healthy that you feel your therapist is trying to hold you back from pursuing a career you're interested in…ideally, you'd talk about it, realize you misread her signals and learn from it. Or if it really is true she's trying to prevent you from becoming a therapist maybe it's not a good relationship.

I am the queen of putting off difficult topics and the hardest thing usually isn't bringing up the difficult topic…it's bringing it up years later.
