Here's just a thought, probably completely way off base... To me the therapeutic relationship is supposed to kind of mimic a healthy parent/child relationship--they shouldn't tell us their problems, they support and guide us, have rules, etc. You often hear that your parent isn't supposed to be your friend. I wonder if something about the dynamic didn't feel right to you because it felt too much like friends and you aren't ready for that yet??? I think at some point when a child matures they can be on a more equal level as their parents and can become friends at that point. Maybe your inner child isn't ready??? Sorry if that doesn't make sense. I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
