Here's what I would say:

I'm trusting you more lately.

You forget to tell me things that are important at times, and then think that you have told me. I don't like it, as it makes me feel unimportant because you didn't keep track.

Your boundaries were so strict at the beginning of our therapy that it was damaging to me. Now that you offer more support, I can't accept it without feeling guilty and wondering if you are offering out of obligation.

I don't like that you've accepted many gifts from me over the years but only offer me the most insignificant things from your office to hold onto when you are gone, such as a rock or pen.

I appreciate all of the coping skills you've been teaching me, but some of them seem hokey - like EFT. It has been painful not having physical comfort so many times in my life, and hugging myself is not comforting!

I appreciate how incredibly patient you are.

Thanks for not giving up on me.

I'm really sorry for all the times I used to get mad at you early in my therapy.
Thanks for this!

Stop gesturing so much, it's distracting.
Please tell me I'm good.
How can I want you to be my dad, and also have naughty thoughts?!?
I'm jealous of your kids.
I'm jealous of your wife.
You make me feel so safe for a whole hour a week.
Thanks for not pushing the eye contact thing. Or the God thing.
Thanks for apologizing to me this week, and for letting me know it's ok to be angry with you.
How will I make it through this whole week without emailing you?
I hope you visit me in a dream
Thanks for this!
