Retreat is a good word, it describes very well what happens. And I do take it personally, and I do feel rejected! I think to myself, I shouldn't have said [whatever]. Intellectually though I think it is not intended personally. It is I think a conscious decision to maintain balance. Not the best way for me but not directed personally at me, but hard for me to feel that, especially when it happens. I feel rejected and artificial talking about something else.
This is the first time in my life I have connected with a therapist, so this relationship means a great deal to me. I will keep trying to work it out. Thanks so much for putting yourself in my shoes -- I really appreciate your thoughts.
