I am having the exact same issue right now in my own therapy, and it's actually causing me a lot of stress. I've come to the point that I don't know what to say anymore when I go, even though I certainly have not gotten into some of the events in my life that brought me to therapy in the first place. I don't know how to approach certain topics with my therapist, and I don't know how I will react to my own self if I try because these things are buried for a reason.

It's the old one-sided issue that causes me problems. Here is this person who hears my darkest, dirtiest moments in life, but shares very little in return and then asks me how I feel about it all. Well, obviously I feel pretty bad. What am I supposed to do with that? I feel like I just don't understand what this is supposed to be doing for me anymore, and the lopsided intimacy, or lack thereof, has me emotionally confused at times. At times I feel physically attracted to this person, at times I feel like we are friends, and then I walk out and realize he goes home to a life I am in no way a factor. It's a strange dynamic, and I don't know if I like it anymore.

Didn't mean to derail the thread, but I'd been thinking of making my own thread on this issue, so these are my thoughts. I don't know how there can be real intimacy in therapy when only one person is exposed, and the other person actively works to stay buttoned up.
