I am not telling her my story for the poor me look what happened. It's trying to unload stuff I have kept hidden for close to 3 decades. That whole victim stuff messes with my head bc just like in childhood when I attempted to reach out to express my feelings it was shut down quickly otherwise well yeah.
Hmmm here again the issue of age difference in the client and T seems to be a concern. I'm 58 and pretty set in my ways as well. Even since a child I've been very independent. I agree, we tell our story to get it out not for sympathy, but I guess some do.
