I so appreciate all of these supportive, validating posts. Thank you for helping me feel less "paranoid" and also very welcome here.

I will try to summon the courage to discuss it with him. I have been trying to examine myself and wondering why I hate the idea of sharing my T with this person and why my knees go weak at the idea of being discussed.

For me, therapy has brought out so many young and primitive feelings, and it is so hard when I am faced with adult situations that require me to shift back into a rational and fair-minded perspective. I just want to tell him, "I was here first! You can't see her!" Yuck.

Thanks again.
