Dear T, there's a couple of things from last session that are bugging me. First, when I was talking about how hard it is to allow myself to care for someone when for all I know they could be dying, and it's hard not to know anything about you, and you said "well, I'm not going to start self-disclosing." I hope you don't think that's what I want?? You know how much that hurt with T1. Why would I want that and why would you say that? I'm hoping you meant that in an "as you know..." type of way. Because if you think I want you to start self-disclosing you are very wrong.
Also, when I said "that will be good for therapy" and you wanted to clarify whether I meant from the perspective of a client or as a trainee therapist. I mean, what? When have I ever given you the impression that I am trying to use my therapy with you for my training? When I am with you I am a client, not a trainee therapist and it's important to me that you can understand that too.
I don't want to detract from how good last session was, T. I just don't want you to make any false assumptions about me.
