I completely understand that wierd feeling of being out-of-balance in the therapeutic relationship. It took me ages to get used to it with my T. I don't warm up to people easily, so that added to my trouble. I probably spent the first year just talking about friends' problems, and siblings' problems....but rarely my own problems.
After about a year, I finally felt comfortable enough to start talking about my problems. It took that long to just get used to the idea of that wierd imbalance.
Of course, during that year I also had a nasty case of the "Help me god I'm in love with my therapist!". My T helped me get through that by encouraging me to talk about it whenever the feelings got in the way. Horribly terribly embarrassing at the time. But he was great through it all. Solid as a rock.
I hope my previous post didn't sound critical of anyone. It really wasn't meant to be. If I offended anyone...I'm really sorry.
