Just a thought. Therapy isn't always "nice." It can get raw and difficult at times, and sometimes we have to work through some "not-so-nice" feelings with our Ts. That's what they're there for--to help us understand all our feelings.
I'm a people pleaser and when I think back over the years at some of the things I've said in therapy, I'm appalled at myself, but they needed to be said in order to be healed.
I'm just trying to say that as you feel more comfortable with your T, maybe you won't feel that it always has to be nice. You aren't there to please her; she's there to help you!
I hope I don't sound harsh. I certainly don't mean too.
good luck,
antigua
