I had a minor rupture with my T, and I think working through it led me to be more comfortable talking with her, because I was able to express that I was upset with how she handled something.

I'm currently in a rupture sort of situation with my marriage counselor. He said last week in discussing it that often when something like that happens in therapy--misunderstanding, anger, hurt, etc.--it can then lead to a big breakthrough and steps forward. It remains to be seen how this will play out. I know I'm very attached to him--though that attachment is kind of what led to this. (He loosened boundaries for a bit with me when I revealed some transference a few months ago, then recently tightened them back up without much of an explanation. And this was right after I'd shared my love--mostly paternal--for him.) So while part of me is tempted to walk away, the other part of me wants to see him and make it better. I'm focusing on the second part for now. And he says it's brave for me to try to continue rather than running away--though I'm not sure if it's so much bravery as attachment/love...
