I do feel I need to bring it up again. You're right though, I don't want to get my hopes up. It's not as if I never put it out there before, and when I did it was clear I was upset. I think this is his way of maintaining balance, so as not to become enmeshed in my stuff.
It's very hard. I am really agonizing over it. I am thinking about cancelling our next session, which is something I never do and I don't want to do, but I feel like such a fool for having opened up this stuff and I don't know if I can follow him into another topic. It feels so forced and artificial to me. The reaction at the time was positive but the pulling away, avoiding any deep discussion of it at the following session, instead running through the issues in a most dispassionate "let's sum this up" way is a killer for me.
Sorry dinah I don't mean to get so intense. I just have to figure out what to do.
I'm not going to keep saying thanks for your reply, I think I can assume you know I appreciate your reply. :-)
