Also: Whenever I give my T something to read of mine, I completely slink down into the tiniest ball possible, and put a pillow over my head until she is done. She has offered to leave the room--so I don't think it is weird at all that you dont' want to be seen. I don't either.
I hope it goes well! When is your appt?

We haven't discussed attachment. I did warn him that I was worried that I'd be "too much" and he'd regret taking me on as a client. I also talked about my extreme neediness. But nothing about it in the context of our relationship. If he has thought about it I think he might not bring it up without being sure. I haven't actually openly showed signs of being attached to him. Well, I guess a bit at our last session.
Thanks
Someone suggested me leaving the room and I forgot to respond to that bit. It would feel like rejection and bring back memories of being in my early teens and having to leave the room so my parents could talk to the therapist, which ended up being a disaster in the long run and doing a lot of damage to me and my ability to trust therapists.
