Part of the shift is also the limitations of virtual visits on my type of therapy. So, maybe there's some compensation going on because of those limitations.

I too am struggling with continuing as the weeks have turned into months and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. My county has no plans to open up further and we are under mask orders for all indoor venues and even outdoor venues if 6ft cannot be maintained. I don't see that lifting anytime soon either.
my state has the same regulations as your. T suspects we will not be back in her office until next summer.

I wonder if the more self disclosure is related to knowing she has do do things differently to help foster connection for me. Since we have discussed that so many times. As well as to help me trust that she is not judging me negatively on an emotional level.

Also, she knew long term T and I had very loose boundaries which was. helpful and I could handle it
