I don't feel like you are being oversensitive. And even if you were, I'm not sure shaming you is the best way to address sensitivity. One of the biggest things I need is that unconditional positive regard. Without that, I can't/won't open up to someone. Even with that it took a year before I started to feel like I trust her. I don't feel like you are getting that unconditional positive regard. I am not sure if you have ever gotten it from this t; if not, perhaps it is not her style. If you once felt that, perhaps there is something to talk to her about because possibly counter transference is going on and she is not completely aware of it.

Perhaps it is she that is being oversensitive.

I have PC, and people I can Email...but no one in my immediate life who "is there" for me.
