That's why you see a therapist. You wouldn't if you didn't have a need. If you or or insurance pays for an hour or whatever the length of a whole session is, than it is not just normal to feel the need, you are also entitled to it. I think that feeling ashamed and afraid to ask for what you need and deserve may be an important part of the process, worth discussing with your therapist when you next see each other, if you are open to that. Take care.

Thank you Brillskep, I did tell him those exact things several sessions ago. In fact it was in my notes we never discussed.
I wish I had the courage to bring it up since he didn't. He is very professional, super busy, smart, and very popular with his clients and colleagues. I don't know how to feel or act anymore. I am numb. My family deserves better than me I should be stronger.
