> The confusing part to me (or one of the confusing parts) is the relationship itself between client and therapist. I find it hard to accept how important she is to me. Meanwhile, I function in the real world, running my business and family, while I have this "secret" life in my therapist's office. In her office, I feel so imcompetent, so stupid. I struggle with loving her and hating the places she is taking me to. I still censor my thoughts, although I'm getting much better and letting her hear my unedited accounts.*Do you think you have to let them be important or can you keep that special safe distance?

> Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I always enjoy reading your perspective and happy you check in with babble from time to time. You are very insightful from your place on the floor at the edge of the couch (I almost curled up into a ball yesterday, then quickly realized that she wouldn't understand a word I was saying).*Its funny you should say about hiding. Thats my homework this week. When do I need to hide?
As for me, I'm SO lucky!!!My T. has excellent hearing!!!! There's been times when I'm all bent over in my chair, all but in a ball, and she still seems to be able to hear what little I mumble.
It really is weird how different we are with our T's. Just protecting ourselves I reckon.
Take care Annie.
