So, there is that.. I am feeling like a little kid waiting to be disciplined (hello transference).
However, I recognize there is something bigger going on here and I am sure you do as well. I have an appointment with you on Tuesday- where we talked about the needy feelings that I am having, the too much feelings- thus outing my dependence on you. Then you do something, sure it was crappy, and I am still angry about that, but I think it was a convenient way to try to not feel so close to you. Or away to get you to say, ok time to put some distance between the two of us. It's like I am finding ways to mess this up. And as most people here seem to see, you are a pretty decent T and we have a pretty decent relationship and maybe that is just too scary of a thing for me to handle right now?
Again- I emphasize, I am not letting you off the hook for the crappy think you did.. I just think that I am more scared about the feelings we are going to talk about surround the events. And YES- maybe feeling a little like I am going to get reprimanded or something. I really want to email all this to you before I see you on Friday.. because I am really afraid that this anxiety is going to over take me and I am just not going to show up.

Just wanted to say I know exactly what you mean about feeling like a kid about to be disciplined by T--I've felt like that with MC before. Like when I did the googling or when I e-mailed or texted excessively. When I felt like I'd been *bad*. And then it would be confusing when he *didn't* "discipline" me and didn't even express any anger or frustration.
So I get the being scared about seeing T. But I suspect he will be understanding and won't reprimand you. Like you said though, don't let him off the hook for upsetting you either. Hope it goes well!
