I've gotten to a point where I can hardly talk to T without apologizing. Anything from seeing her wear a skirt for the first time & telling her I think she looked great in it... to glancing at the overhead lights wishing she'd turn on the lamps instead... to sending an email saying I'm having a hard time with this assignment... sigh. No wonder she never says anything. I just realized how aggravating that must sound.

Maybe I should just get a little clothespin for my lips.

T: So... how was your week?
SAWE: Mmpmph.

Does your T ever explore with you your motives for apologizing? My T and I have entered that territory and it has been a fruitful topic for discussion. Nonetheless, if I feel like I might have crossed boundaries or talked too much or said something wrong, etc - I still feel compelled to apologize. But she doesn't let me get away with it completely. We immediately discuss my feelings.
