Right... that's what I am wondering, if maybe she has taken me as far as she can. But as I type this I also have to wonder if I'm the one who has gone as far as I can due to my own fears of raw emotion. I think this is definitely worth exploring in session. She tells me that she is "waiting for me to come to her" meaning to expose my sadness, anger, all of that toxic stuff that is somewhere tucked away. I just wish she could always be the warm person she sometimes is, it helps me to feel safe. I think if she was more consistent with that then perhaps I would feel safe enough to be vulnerable.
