Phone call rules, self care rules, blah blah blah. Who is this guy? We totally miss one another--and I don't mean longing I mean we do NOT connect during these times.
In some ways I feel like I need more from him. I need HIM to be more WITH ME during our session tomorrow. I need HIM to not shy away from my depression. Yeah, he can pull me out but he can only do that if he is with me and not telling me from the sidelines to get out of it.
Anyhow, I'm thinking that I need more intimacy--he needs to be with me more and in order for me to get what I need--then I need to risk more, don't I?
I needed a hell of a lot more from my mother than I got, connection, love all of that but most of all I needed her to validate the hell she left me in when she was working. I was not safe. But I always just blocked that out--disssociated that need so I wouldn't feel it.

Hi Charlotte, so you think that he is just not comfortable getting too close when you really need him? Maybe he is afraid that he will be pulled in and this will destabilize him?
Are you dissociating your needs again with your T like you did with your mom?
