I have a similar relationship with my T as lola. I want him to say difficult things, even if they are worded in a blunt way. I've always been a direct person though and I've always appreciated directness towards me.
I think the only piece I would disagree with is the use of "everything" - while I know what she meant on some level, my own T shies away from "all" "nothing" "never" "always" that kind of thing. Because you're not afraid of *everything*, you're afraid of a number of things and the verbiage can have an emotional impact.
