Yes, it feels like at first she really encouraged it.. Wanted me to be vulnerable, to trust her, to know that she is always with me , stuff like that. Now it feels like she is pushing back. She rarely responds to my email.. It feels like mind games sometimes. From other posts I've read this seems to be a common pattern. Maybe it is the therapist trying to parent then let go as we grow but it doesn't feel like that. It feels rather uncaring.
