I understand how you could interpret your situation to be humiliating, but I see it as a natural part of the therapeutic process. Also, Ts are accustom to this type of process and, I would hope, your T does not judge you for it. Actually, trusting your T with your "neediness" is a positive sign. You are learning how to allow another person to care for you.

You said, "...I don't need anyone, I practically raised myself." I was the same way growing up--the adults in my life did not take care of me--I took care of myself.

I am not sure, if this is happening with you or not, but for me, my "neediness" was based on the lack of care I received as a child. As a child I longed for somebody to care for me. As a result of never being cared for, I never learned how to allow somebody to care for me--I became self sufficient. In therapy, as an adult, I started forming a relationship with my therapist that was based on this--she became the parent I never had. I became needy--just like a kid.

This was a natural and very beneficial relationship--I needed to learn to allow another person to care for me--therapy was a safe place to do it. Your story may be different than mine, so maybe your feelings are coming from somewhere else, but I thought I would share my experience.

Oh, by the way, it feels really good not to be so dang self sufficient--allowing others to care for me is a big relief.
