thank you for sharing this. I worry all the time about my therapist's feelings. I value my sensitivity deeply, but I also realize that sometimes I'm projecting worries about myself/other things onto my therapist. e.g. my self worth is connected to my ability to support other people, so sometimes if I'm feeling particularly bad about myself I might unconsciously make up for it with something I feel I'm good at (attending to others' needs).

I'm trying to remind myself that I can show I care by trusting that my therapist will manage their emotional boundaries and bring their feelings into the space if it is helpful for them or me. of course, this extends to you too--if you feel it's helpful to bring certain emotions or worries into the space, like being hurt from feeling dismissed, maybe you can talk about it during a session?
