I know nothing, I am not a T, I am not you, I am not your T, I don't know about your relationship, and I am no expert on anything but food. (And incidently, we are NOT chopped liver!)
BUT but but --- what purpose does it serve to be alone? You have your therapist, he exists for the likes of you (and me) and if you're a "burden" to him, if he can't handle a patient in the throes of deep need, he should change careers, dagnabbit!
Do you respect this therapist? Do you think he's good at his job? Do you think he's a decent therapist? A good person?
If you answer yes to those questions, then could you let him do his job, and when you can, tell him all?
Imagine of you went to a medical doc with an illness but refused to tell him where and when it hurt! He couldn't help much ... could he?This is encouragement to use the resources you have. We (the not-chopped-liver "we") are here, and so is your T. The world doesn't have to be a vast lonliness.
