I often think "be careful what you wish for" too. Kind of like cloning - do I really want there to be more of me? I can't handle what there is now.
Today was a very hard but very good session. I'll post about it on a different thread. But essentially he said - keeping with the car analogy -- that I've felt lost and alone, like he is along for the ride, kind of in the backseat but not driving, and not navigating and not narrating the trip either. So it is tempting to wreck the car in order to really get his attention. He said I don't need to do that, that he really is sitting up front, not just navigating but looking out the window too and telling me about the things we are passing that maybe I'm missing since I have to keep my eyes on the road. It was nice to feel reassured.
