I know many of you have more "Strict" T's which is probably a good thing but mine shares ALOT of personal stuff... basically anything I've ever asked he has answered and he shared a lot without me asking as well.

The thing is, even though I am not a fan of people in general, because I usually get treated poorly, I care deeply about people that I feel close to. I am really struggling because I have told him I care about him and he is ok with it but I can't hug him when he is hurting or ask if he is ok etc, because of "rules" and it's extremely frustrating not to be able to be the person I've always been

I have had so much internal feelings about this stuff in my mind I sometimes get really depressed and want to quit because I feel I can't be myself in therapy. I don't like how "Rules" dictate how I can feel about someone and who I can and can't care about.

How can I deal with this? And don't say talk to him... he already knows about it, but has provided me with no actual useful advice.
