Hi Jay,Good to hear from you, you've been rather quiet recently :) Also glad you are continuing to enjoy and get a lot out of your relationship with your T.
One thing in particular that strikes me from your post is, why do you feel you need to protect the therapy and therapeutic relationship with your T? This is not supposed to be your job but hers! It is interesting that you feel the need to do this. Now that I think about it, your previous posts have often contained some element of this worry for you. I think you should discuss this with your T, because that is really not something that should be on your shoulders. I realize, and respect, your desire to take care of your T but this is a role reversal and not the way that therapy should work. I'm not suggesting that she is delinquent in any way, I'm sure she is fully capable of "minding the store" 100% - so why do you feel you are the one who needs to? Maybe something in your past? This could be a great area to open up.
Take care,
Lucie
