This means that she can't soothe me or help me with her responses as I'm not totally present with her. Is this what your T is talking about? Is she trying to encourage you to be more present with her so she can support you?

Yes, you got it, Brown Owl. Exactly! I'm not present with her. I'm just talking and telling her things without feeling like I'm there. I'm going too
fast because I want her to hear it all, but then I can't remember feeling connected to her because I wasn't!

It's just that I never really had someone who seemed interested, who seems to care.
If I ramble in session, she cuts me off. And she took pains to say that we only talked about one thing but it was "enough". But I never feel I've enough time to talk about all the things I want to process which occur in my daily life.
For now, she still allows me to write my insanely long letters.

If I don't have time for everything, I email my T, so I understand about the long letters.
