I know how hard it can be to be in distress and then have that distress be the subject of discussion.
If it means anything to you, I understand completely what you mean. When my therapist told me something the other day that threatened my therapy, I responded with a threat of suicide to him. It wasn't premeditated and I'm not proud of it. And if I had to do it over again, I probably wouldn't. Not least because I was instantly afraid of how he'd respond.
But I too am so attached to him that the thought of losing him is scarier than *anything*.
It's completely natural to be scared after revealing something so personal. Therapists vary widely in their ability to handle these things, but you haven't said anything to suggest to me that he'll respond in an overwhelmingly negative way.
Will you let me know how it goes? I really do want to know how he responds. And don't worry about whether you are being responsive enough here. We all give when we can, and take when we need, and that's ok. That's what the board is for.
