I can so relate to this. I still remember this seminal moment from therapy when my T asked me to tell him my needs, what I needed and wanted from him. I was, like, floored. Stunned. I could not recall anyone ever asking me what I needed from them, or what I wanted. I could barely hear another word he said all session as I got stuck on that, and managed later in session to blurt out my difficulty with that. He was so great with that and repeated that yes, he wanted to hear my needs, that I deserved that, and not just from him. And go ahead, let fly with my needs, he was waiting and would do whatever it took. It is so wonderful your T cares for you sister. It's so therapeutic, isn't it? I'm happy for you.

BTW, I'm back from vacation, haven't posted in a while, look forward to reading some of the many new threads.
