Right... That's where I'm struggling. The response I got seemed rather uncaring, or at least that is how it felt. Sometimes I question myself, am I expecting too much? Then I feel confirmed in my feelings, like, " hey! I deserve a better response than that!" I'm coming to the realization that I am not as important as I want to be in my therapists life, and as painful as it may be.. It's good for me to have that awareness. But at the same time, I want to matter.. I want to feel like my therapist does care for me on some level.. and most importantly , to feel it consistently.. Consistency is key .
