Hi Treehouse, maybe this is all just a trigger and it is more about the past than the present? So the work isn't working on you and T in the present but you and T working on what is being triggered in the past?????????????? (How you felt as a child when your feelings and needs took a backseat all the time and I guess the present too because it is still happening with your mom??????).

I think of stuff like this as you in therapy have many tracks that you are working on. You have worked some tracks pretty far but with other tracks you are just starting. You haven't lost the other track that you made progress on when you find a new track that needs work.
