Is it possible that some, perhaps half, of these feelings and fears are coming from you? What has triggered off this set of feelings, besides your therapist? I wonder if the details of the world don't sometimes sneak in and make us worried? I'm thinking the floods in Iowa must make you nervous, even if it is unconsciously.
I sometimes slip into these deep feelings of wanting more from my therapist than he can give, without knowing why I've slipped there. What has happened or what did he say/do/not say/not do? Old stuff, I'm sure. I'm way too hypervigilent. But then I push and pull and he still can't give me what I need, until we sort of stumble into the right conversation that soothes things. I'm sure you'll get there, just keep working at it.
And I hate it too - therapy that is -- sometimes, oft times. And then other times, I just need to be there - to feel the safety of those 4 walls, keeping the world out for a little while.
You'd think there would be an easier way...
