In the past two sessions I have been feeling detached from my T.
Is that good thing?
Should I tell her? It feels empty

Feeling empty doesn't sound like a good thing, especially if it doesn't feel good.
I have felt disconnection from my t before. Often I will share the feeling and ask what is going on. Often it's me feeling scared so I hide inside myself.
Usually when I talk about the detachment, I feel connected again --- well as long as she says the right things!!

I have not had that with my T, but I have with other important people in my life.
It usually happened during a time when I feel too close to them and am afraid of getting hurt by that so I "turn off" my feelings in an attempt to save myself.Not sure if this is what's going on with you. Maybe. How have you handled intense relationships like this in the past? Similarly? Or does it feel like this type of detachment is new and specifically for your T?
Has your T been saying things lately that just have not been resonating well with you? That could be a turn off as well.
I'm curious to know what she says about this.
