((((safe hugs)))) The process for reversing the effects of "brainwashing" is pretty much the same. You need to trust your T explictly. If you have this deep inside, even when sometimes you begin to wonder, you will have it to fall back on. There will be times that the T might totally confuse you, or anger you... I'm assuming your T is trained in helping you this way... and will have to "pull" some phrases on you to knock you out of your tracked thinking... The T will have to be very consistent in who HE is. He will have to set and keep boundaries that you know you can run full force into ,and they don't move! Safety is key. Then, you need to KNOW that change is possible. You will probably come to learn that everything you think, say ,and do stems from the way you were taught (either overtly or covertly.) There will be times you feel like such a non person because you "can't" think, say , or do anything that is right... but it isn't true, ok? cognitive behavioral therapies work at changing our thinking... and it might seem that they use the same tactics to brainwash you the way the T wants... don't fall into that thinking... YOU will be doing the changing, this time.
