I'm finding myself really frustrated with my T. I just wish she could reassure me every once in awhile. Some things I've grown used to. For instance, I know if I submit that I think I'm ugly or fat, she won't attempt to tell me otherwise. I know she wants me to draw those conclusions for myself. I get that.
I asked her if she remembered any of her clients from 20 years ago. She said that she did and asked me why. I explained that I felt that I hadn't made much of an impression on her and that she'd probably forget me in a year or so and that I found that upsetting. She said she would be upset too if she thought her T would forget about her. That just really hit me the wrong way and I wanted to scream at her.
I guess my question is, how does your T handle these situations? Does he/she reassure you or not?
