I was just thinking about how when I tell her I'm feeling insecure and want her to reassure me, she doesn't. She just looks at what I'm feeling and why I feel insecure and what the need is. Instead of just jumping in and trying to fill the need. Even though I kind of want her to, that's not what I pay her for.My former T wasn't able to restrain herself so well. Or maybe she just didn't see the value in it. But there is real value in it. Because if you fill the need, it might not be there to analyze and understand anymore. And then what's the point of being in therapy?
It's really hard though. It's not so much fun. It's work. :(
I feel really down today. But I'm trying to make the best of things.
