This is how I feel as well. Seems like therapy unearthed some things I wasn’t aware of and now I have “needs” from him. I wish I could write a list, but I’m not actually sure what my needs are. Definitely nothing outside what is considered therapeutically acceptable, although sometimes i “need” to feel connected to him outside sessions, or know certain personal things about him, just so I can place him in the world and feel like he exists beyond our allocated time. Another need I have is to let him know about these needs. I “need” him to accept this neediness so that I don’t end up feeling that needing things from a human being with whom you have some sort of close relationship is intrinsically wrong and must be dealt with.
