> The other thing I'm wondering is if you feel like he pulled away from you by going "lighter." I know you've worried before that the pain and trauma are too much for him. Perhaps in some corner of your mind this is "proof?"
This was my original thought, since you felt like you were being a good girl and doing what he wanted you to do. He asked you to bring a different side of yourself to therapy and seemed to enjoy it a lot. I'm sure it didn't at all mean that he finds you too difficult or doesn't care about the other sides of you. But I can understand feeling hurt. I think I've had similar experiences, and I did feel hurt. I felt like maybe that was the side of me he would prefer to see.
I think you ought to share those concerns with him, so that he can be clear about his intent. It always helped with me.
