I really don't understand why she never starts the conversation about my feelings for her even though its such a massive issue for me.
I can see where you're coming from, confused_77. I've been in that position of hoping that T would start a conversation about something that I thought was blindingly obvious...but if your T is person-centred, as mine is...then it seems unlikely to me that she would start a conversation about this without your explicit consent.

Many times I have said things to my therapist about what I am hoping to accomplish, and she has asked me several times to verify that what I am asking for is what I actually want.

Obviously I don't know anything about your therapy or your therapist, but she may not wish to push her agenda on you.
