I posted a couple of months ago about an argument between my mum and I. She ended up booking us counselling and we've just had our second session. In the first session the counsellor seemed to hit the nail on the head with a lot of things eg she is scared of big emotions, she is very defensive, she wears a mask. It felt a bit like I might actually see a glimpse of the person inside! Then tonight it was like she was absolutely determined not to crack again. She resisted talking about herself but insisted I open up about my issues with her. It feels like stalemate. What is the point of being in counselling but keeping the mask on?
