Thank you. "It feels personal but it's actually professional." That's where I get stuck too. Yesterday my session was kind of light. I laughed about something and couldn't stop. The session felt like a conversation between friends in a way. But it was still therapy of course. It was all good until I asked if I could see the photo. Then it was Boom, hit with T's "my personal life is private" attitude. She's right but it triggers me. I have to use radical acceptance but it's difficult.
