Bert was there.

In fact, he was early. He was there before me.

I told him I'd been afraid he wouldn't be there and he said, "It's that basic, is it?" Uh, yeah. Because he wasn't there the previous week. I said I'd be content if I could leave the session feeling sure he'd be at the next one. And I think we managed that.

But I still feel pretty crap. I told him I wanted comfort and he didn't respond.

I feel so far away from him. I really really want to feel connected but everything I say seems to push his boundary buttons. I have told him in the past that I want to feel emotionally close to him; he didn't say anything in response to that either. And I also told him once that sometimes I feel like I'm falling and I want to reach out to him to ask him to help steady me (metaphorically). And he didn't say anything in response to that.

What am I doing wrong? Why won't he answer me? I know, I know. I have to ask *him* that. But I don't know if he'll answer that either...

Sigh.

It feels so difficult right now.
