I do the same thing... I want T to figure me out. To tell me what I'm feeling/experiencing. I feel that, if e.g. I told T that I'm experiencing depression, it wouldn't be valid. For me to "have depression", T needs to tell me that this is what he thinks I'm experiencing. What I think for myself is probably exaggerated. What T says is hopefully more objective (although he has to relay on what I tell him, so... I could also be exaggerating symptoms).

I know that it's my own responsibility to bring things up. I'm just unable to do so because I always feel that my own perception is completly wrong. I do the same with almost everything. Until someone tells me that e.g. a wound looks bad/painful, I won't percieve it as painful (I do feel the pain, but my brain keeps telling me that it's not right to feel pain and therefore I have to be wrong).

I'm rambling. I hope you get my point though
