I certainly don't want to introduce any weirdness into the relationship. I think he's had plenty of sobbing students in his office, but I'd rather be the grownup boundaried one for now...I think that's a good decision. I remember sobbing in my dissertation chair's office once (the transference guy). It was mortifying. I know that a psychologist is probably quite used to crying, but it was just awful. Bleah.

And address this stuff in therapy more than I have been too. My hope is that the meeting will help demystify some of the relationship too.That's great. Let me know how it goes. You can do it!
