My son has been seeing a T since September. We didn't communicate much in the beginning, except for team meetings, as they primarily meet at school but then talked a little more in December. The T showed me support and understanding which was a new feeling for me. He thinks I have CPTSD from the situation with my son. And then we talked/emailed a little more in January, and then quite a bit of email banter in February. And then I tried to button it down because I realized I was attaching to him, and so I stopped for a week. We had a team meeting in the meantime, and I mirrored his body language before I realized it. Maybe he was testing me? The following week, I sent an email message with only a subject with did he meet with my son that day and no text/body. I got a snappy response that my son had a homework assignment and that he highly recommended I do it to with 5 exclamation points - a mindfulness app. I emailed back " that's a lot of exclamation points T" with a sarcastic article about holding people at arms length and sent it by accident. I write a lot of emails that I don't send. He called me the next day and I don't know if I mirrored his tone of voice or he mirrored mine but it was nice and weird, he started to ask about the article, if I was at work, etc I wasn't but I did have company over and had to go. Then I sent an email to him the next day explaining that I was struggling with a lot. Since then he's all but cut me off, and I am reeling. I miss the banter. I trust him but he's not my therapist yet has helped my family a lot. I just don't understand the backing off. He thanked me for my vulnerability and honesty and now hardly responds at all, which makes me feel like I shouldn't have been vulnerable. Maybe he could tell? I know the feelings aren't real, but they did lead me to being more open. I am getting into more than I intended...... Any suggestions?
