I think what would make me feel better is just the occasional validation when I’m crying, so something like ‘I can see this is really hard for you but I’m here with you.’ That would help make it feel like I wasn’t just being stared at and ignored and she really is ‘with’ me. I have massive problems talking about what I need though so this may be a challenge to bring up with her.

If you're having trouble saying it, I've found it can help to type (or write) something up, then send in an email before session or hand it to the T during session (which may not be possible if you're doing virtual sessions, but I emailed him something once, and he read it on his phone during session).
Thanks for this!
