My T is so lovely. There have been things I needed to say in the past and told her I was worried about telling her and she said straight up "I won't judge you. You're safe here." So I guess that's already answered my own question about what she will think.
It's just a very difficult thing to talk about with it being related to a past & current pain and I just don't understand it at all.
Hoping she will give me some insight into this confusing phase I'm going through. I think I've already experienced her counter transference a couple of times but I didn't know it at those times! She kept it well hidden but I pick up on a persons feelings quite easily.
I'll let you know how it goes.
