Trying to figure out exactly what to address with him tomorrow. I mean, I'm sure we'll talk about the money thing, but as I said, I figured out it's not really about the money. Do I talk about how I felt shut down when I wanted to share the voicemail? Do I talk about the other topics I want to talk about but feel might not be OK with him (like a dream I had involving him)? Do I talk more about how I feel like I can't talk about certain topics, and that's an issue for me?

Or do I just figure OK, maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, at least for now, so I should try to focus on the stuff I've found he's good/skilled at, like my family of origin, trauma stuff, etc.?


Or perhaps I say to him exactly what I said here? As in, "I kinda want to talk more about x, y, and z, but worry we'll just talk in circles. So I wonder if we should just move on to this other topic instead, since I think that's an area where you definitely *can* help me?"
