Yeah, it freaked me out today when my therapist was talking about the trauma group I'm in and the therapists that run the group, and he said, "I couldn't run a group like that, it would be too hard for me. I could run it for a little while, but it would get too hard."
A little while later I asked him, "But it's not too hard for you working with me?" He said, "No." Just really firmly, so I really believed him. Then he went on to say that the time we spend together is some of his most cherished time each week. That felt good, but it is so hard to trust. So I totally understand the don't leave me locked in a filing cabinet message. Trusting that his caring is real and won't go away and won't overwhelm him has been a big issue lately, and it is freaking me out that I will be too much of a burden to him.
