Words like "fragile" and "sensitive" can feel different depending on the context and the emotional weight they carry for us personally. Perhaps you might feel okay with "sensitive" because it acknowledges emotional depth without implying weakness. On the other hand, "fragile" can feel like it suggests instability or vulnerability in a way that might not align with how you see yourself or want to be seen. It’s not about being too sensitive—it’s about understanding why certain words resonate or sting, which is part of self-awareness and growth.

It’s also perfectly normal to feel more connected to one therapist or support figure than another especially when you've been seeing them for so long. The connection you feel with P is clearly valuable to you, and it’s great that he’s encouraging you to seek the support you need. You’re allowed to hold space for these differences in your relationships with L and P without invalidating either.
