Thanks, sister and Perna. Good suggestions about my daughter. She's having a hard time.

Anxiety continued today. I broke down during a call to my brokerage firm.

Do you think it's possible that T felt your anxiety along with you and that was why he didn't want to upset you? Maybe he felt you had enough for one day? Can you call and tell him what you need from him?

I was thinking he was hesitant to tell me the truth and upset me more because he sensed it was not the answer I was hoping for. I definitely don't want him to tell me something that is not true. I guess I do need the truth, even if I don't like it. Also, maybe he felt the answer I was seeking was bordering on legal advice and he didn't want to give that. So maybe I am asking my question of the wrong professional.

We left off our session that next time we would continue with some deep and painful stuff. I told him he needed context, and he agreed he wanted it. My past all comes out. Just when you think you've told your T everything.... Yesterday in session my anxiety was flowing out, and it was like I was circling the topic we needed to discuss but only in an "outer world" way, as I shared with T my eruptions of anxiety. Now we need to go deep together, and I need to show him the roots of the anxiety, dating back many years, so he can help and support me. I get feelings of doom when I know a session like this is coming up. But they usually turn out all right.
