sounds like he is trying. it can be hard for therapists if they weren't taught this. hard for them to see that sometimes what we need is some company in our despair. some company in our aloneness. that instead of trying to change it it helps to know that someone is there sitting there with us and that they can cope with it and don't feel the need to change it.

sounds like he is trying. i don't think you are too much. sounds like he is learning how to connect with you . it is wonderful that you can talk to him and tell him stuff. i can't talk. mute. i can't talk.
