Hi Dinah--
All of the tough truths you articulated make sense, and are things I've known and struggled with since I started feeling intense transference in this relationship. It makes a difference whether she was trying to talk about those, or whether she was saying things have changed for her.My therapist has always cried in sessions. Well, not always, but there have been ten or twelve times over the four years that she has. I asked her once if she did this often with clients. She said, "No!" which means it's only with me.
She has also always, when I leave her a message, called back three or four times to try and catch me. Their practice uses a voice mail paging system (I don't have her real number), so I guess I assumed she was trying to make up for that. But maybe it is, as you said, worrisome.
I don't know what to think. I am just royally confused. After all we've been through, for her to make a comment like that--I suppose I'm in shock.
