You are very sweet. I struggle with the words "need" and "want." I can want more contact, but do I NEED more? Sometimes I'm absolutely sure I need him to stay together. Othertimes I wonder if I'm indulging a childish want. Either way, he remains steady for it all.
I'd like to still know about the neediest client. It might make me feel better.
I'm not always brave at saying what is on my mind. But a while ago I asked him to push me a little if he thought I was holding back. So he will say, "what? You started to say something." My favorite is: "Try to stay here and just say words...anything that tells me what is going on." So I said, "words." He laughed.
Talking about talking really helped.
