I wish I had good advice, but I’m in a similar situation. T wants me to talk to her more in session instead of email her all of my feelings. And if I’m struggling she told me I need to call her, rather than writing her an email about what I’m feeling. I’m meeting her halfway right now, and I email her and ask her to call me and tell her what hours I’m available. It just seems easier that way. She doesn’t seem to mind this system.

I think maybe it’s important to remember that it’s not personal and T still cares about you. I know that’s hard, especially when you’re feeling that child mode (I find myself doing that a lot lately, too). Try to tell yourself that T is only doing this to help you. I know that’s hard.
