I'm afraid of the same thing, which is why I can never tell my T how I feel about her. The idea of "working through these feelings" or some other B.S. like that is complete nonsense. There is no such thing. Feelings are what they are, and being shot down is being shot down. I wouldn't be able to continue therapy with this out in the open and am not willing to listen to a single word of any attempt she would make to analyze it. She would without question look at me and think about me differently.
I do feel like it's becoming an elephant in the room, though, and that I'll have to be honest with her sooner or later. But I can only do so in tandem with terminating our sessions.
