Indeed, it would have been hysterical to discover we were seeing the same T. I know what you mean about walking the tightrope of therapy. In my first few years with my T, I didn't want to tell her ANYTHING because I didn't trust her and I was already afraid she'd leave me. So we sat there, every week (sometimes twice/week)in nearly complete silence for the entire session for about four years. Then I opened up and things went swell for a while. Then it was harder to talk to her because we had gotten so close. Somehow, I'm over that now. I mean, it's still hard to bring up some things but I *do* bring them up and we talk through most everything.
But now she's on the verge of retiring, so I'm panicked about that most of the time.
SIGH...
By the way, I'm surprised to hear you say you don't consider yourself very social. That's not been my experience of you on Babble. You are one of the kindest, most social people on here. It appears to me that you go out of your way to respond to whoever is hurting at any given time. I'd be happy to count you as a friend IRL.
