I don't know what is causing you to feel unsafe and fearful in therapy at the moment, but this statement spoke to me tonight. Although this doesn't relate to T, it relates to a recent change in feelings in one of my other relationship. I've managed to become somewhat close and more comfortable with two friends this past year. I was really feeling good about these relationships and was even thinking that I kind of felt a level safety with them. One of these relationships doesn't feel as safe anymore after a crazy drunken night and some weird text messages I was sent a 5 AM. I know the fear and discomfort I'm presently feeling is irrational and my friend hasn't really changed...yet I'm still feeling it.
Maybe the inconsistencies and the way you have been feeling lately just needs to play out. Maybe you need to allow time for you to rebuild the trust and get settled again. The good thing is that you're doing this with a T who is experienced in rebuilding consistency and safety. You've had a good connection with your T before and therapy has felt like a safe place before. You can get there again, just allow yourself time to build it back.
(((Miss C))) hope you hang in there and work through this with your T.
