So I'm wondering if anyone else out there has conversations with your T in your head in between sessions? And if you do this, have you told your T about it?
I've been having talks with my T in my head from the beginning, rehearsing what I would say to her in my next session. Only lately have these talks turned more into fantasies of how I would like my T to react to something I tell her, or of how I want to show intense emotion that I have thus far been unable to show in therapy. I have NOT told my T about this, but I think I may ask her if she considers it normal for me to have a convo with her in my head. But then I know she'll ask for more details, and I also know that she'll know if I'm holding back about the fantasies part! I get butterflies in my stomach just thinking about having that conversation with T!
I really hope that this is a rather 'normal' part of therapy and that it only means that my relationship with my T is strengthening.
