Tying into another thread about knowing about your therapist's personal life helps me with this issue. He has divulged that he has been on my "side of the couch" many times and still is. I'm glad he told me that -- now I know that he has more than a good understanding of how I must feel. So, he probably knows I worry about burdening him, care about his place in my life, etc.
I'm still working on beliving I deserve the things that are actually attainable. I think my abusive past shuts me down just at the moment when something I want and (dare I say?) deserve is just within my reach. It smacks me down the split second I extend my hand for it.
