Overall the session went good. We went for a walk the entire session. It took me a while to ask him about being frustrated with me. He said he's not he just wishes I would follow our plans more often. He asked me if he looked frustrated, and I said no. He said he's going to make me figure out the answer to these questions (him leading some) a lot more now. Then I asked him why he got mad at me when I shutdown last week. He said he didn't and in fact he made sure he said he wasn't mad. I don't remember that at all. He said he thinks I only hear part of what he says most the time. He said especially when I shutdown I don't hear anything because I'm lost in my thoughts. He actually asked me to tell him what I heard and I couldn't remember it right. He said from now on if I'm going to shutdown I have to tell him to rephrase what he said or explain what he means, and he will promise to tell me when I'm beginning to, and ask what's causing it. I asked him about feeling like a burden, and he said he hates when I say that. He told me that this is what he does and he doesn't mind ALL my emails except when I ask about being a burden. He said he's not going to reinforce me asking him, because I'll just keep asking. I said but I'm a burden cause I'm a lot more than your other clients. He said that just means he has to work that much harder at getting me stable.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
