I wish I knew what to say to make it better for you. Do abused children give away their love too easily? What is love anyway.. I thought it was a verb but maybe it's a feeling? It's probably a feeling that comes from doing the verb; yes, that sounds right to me. So in therapy, who's doing all the action? Well, it seems to be mostly the client doesn't it?
My therapist demonstrated that very aptly. He still treats me like a freak if I call to give him an update. I'm insane to worry about his wellbeing. See, I don't know what's the matter with me either. Except that I drive people nuts and is that a self-fulfilling prophecy? I just don't know, I don't know anything Pinkeye. I just want for therapy to work out well for you, and for you to know your therapist cared, but I'm not your therapist so of course I can't give you that. And it seems like he (? she?) can't or won't do that. Maybe it's different training or maybe it's us. Maybe we're just *too much* for everybody. Sorry, I don't mean to put myself in your boat. I'm in my own boat; sometimes it wallows a bit.
