I'm glad you had a good session. You were very brave to push yourself and ask questions until you had answers. That really is progress. And you deserve to be cared about so I'm glad you could feel his caring. Safety is something built moment by moment - not dissociating enough to feel the safety might help with the dissociating overall. It is a process...
My therapist has this whole speech about the spiral of therapy and how we struggle and struggle with something and then it feels like we break through -- and then we begin again. And so it goes. Sometimes I really hate it but I can see how necessary it is to come close to the fire and then move away again.
I like your definition of dependency - btw. It seems like a really good one for therapy.
