I'm glad your T didn't get tired of you. Even though I'm sure it's not true, sometimes I can't help but think that my T dreads when she has to see me, and that she can't wait for the session to be over because I'm boring her or I'm too frustrating. I have been seeing her for about 2 years (roughly, because I don't see her over summer and winter breaks, obviously), you would think that I would have gotten better at talking to her by now.I do trust her, at least, I think I do. So I don't know. Maybe I'm afraid of getting to close to her because I'm afraid she'll be leaving soon (she's a postdoctoral resident, and I found out that she almost left last year after she completed her internship), or because I know that I'll graduate in a year and a half or so, and I won't be able to see her.
Thank you for letting me know that I'm not the only one who has trouble getting the words out. :)
