i'm so sorry your session didn't go better. it sounds like it was so hard but i'm glad you did call and it sounds like you and t are getting back to a better place.

tree, this is just a random thought but i wonder if it could be because of the subject matter that you are dealing with why t wants to be extra careful about physical contact right now. i don't know, but he could be concerned that any overture on his part might trigger you somehow.

It's been a long time since he had to offer...but the stuff we are doing is so hard...working on giving up bad coping skills, AND staying present in session, AND the CSA stuff, AND the breaks/ruptures/reconnecting...and in the midst of all of that, he has decided this is a time to "push me" in other areas. It's a bit much.

maybe you can talk to him about this and prioritize together what is most important to deal with right now. this does sound like an awful lot to take on all at once. slowing down a bit might speed things up in the long run or at least make the everyday a bit easier to handle.

I think he gets that now. I hate times like this in T.

i think the way you have learned to communicate with t is nothing short of miraculous. if i ever learn to do it 1/10 as well as you do i'll probably be amazed.
