A friend stayed overnight to shorten a drive... I had very little notice but of course I was happy to help her, only... she's one of two friends who know anything about my past. Her favorite discussion topic is prodding me for details and then asking about the therapy tehniques and then comparing to her own trauma and offering life advice. She starts the convo with normal topics and then after a few minutes she'll get this concerned pout and lean in and say "Anais, you know I'm your friend and I want to know- how are you... doing?"

I hate this but she's just so insistent "because she cares!" and I don't want to create a bad atmosphere between us by clamping down.

Now she's gone and I'm left with all this stuff I brought up that usually only sees conversational daylight in the therapy office.
