Thanks, agreed that it might be difficult to handle. I think I was hoping I could work through it. His style of handling it at first was great--just seems to have shifted a bit now. I'm not totally sure why, though I suspect there could be a bit of paternal countertransference. Or some sort of countertransference. Which could explain why he acts particularly caring and open toward me at times and/or loosens some boundaries--and then is like, uh-oh, better tighten those back up again.
I feel like I still need some sort of therapy, but I also wonder if I need to take a step back from it. Like I want to go for the next few weeks (my T is out of town next week though), see where I am and how I'm feeling, then maybe think about either taking a break from one or both for a bit. Or switching to every other week instead of weekly, something like that. I'm thinking it might be putting me in my own head too much.
