1. How do you be more open?
* Is it talking about sensitive things? Or allowing your T to push/challenge you? I'm honest, so I know it's not that.

2. How do you lead therapy?
* My T told me it's my therapy and I need to lead (pick topics).

3. How do you convey emotions when you have the ability to smile even when you're sad?
* I can't read my T's expressions and she can't read mine When I told her today I didn't know what to talk about, she thought I was playing around with her...

Please don't tell me to get a new T. I have enough I'm dealing with and I'm tryi g to figure this relationship out. As a recap, my ex-T abandoned me 16 weeks ago, so I'm pretty fragile and vulnerable. I also can't figure out whether I actually have issues with my new T or if those problem are a side effect of T abandoning me.
