Somehow having my brother and mom come with me in sessions has changed the whole family.

Your T is going to be tha-rilled to hear this. You are gonna make his day. That's what his work is all about (he's a family therapist, right?).

Whoa! That sounds like a message you'd hear in a dream, but you got it in real life! How do you feel about that? Do you think you will take that advice?

What happened to my real dad? who is this person?

Maybe you are now seeing the real dad. Your authentic declaration of love and understanding to him is allowing him to be authentic too.

I'm sad because I feel T is not connected to me WHY IS THIS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

Tell your T you are sad. Even if he can't give you what you want, he can at least feel your sorrow with you. Oh, and why do you assume there is something wrong with you?
