I think I have an inkling of that awful feeling. I recall feeling even more lonely, and hopeless, when in a group of "close friends". The distance between us was so huge. And I felt responsible for it, but also helpless to slow down the impossibly large and growing gap. Like I was being swallowed. And so alone in that struggle, because I knew they had no sense of what was happening, were probably blaming me, and I had no way or will to explain it or stop it.
I'm glad that you and your T were able to talk about it, and that you're slowly, gingerly, moving forward in addressing the trigger that seems to have brought this on. I hope you will let us know how it's going.
I'm curious, too, exactly how your T and you went about opening it up again, while being careful enough (? was it enough?).
