Hmmm, I'm trying to recall what I said....

So if you've had this experience, of your unconscious letting your T know what you need before you were even aware that this is what you needed, what did that look like?

Sometimes I have had flashbacks. T says they come because I'm ready for them. Sometimes I have dreams and I share these with T. They come from my unconscious and they tell us a lot when we analyze them. My T has also told me he watches very closely in therapy (with all clients) for slight hesitations or changes in the client voice. He told me once he notices when the client looks down; whether it is to the right or left tells him something, although I can't remember what. He says he looks for all these little rough spots when the client is talking and notes them as places to return to and things that may need healing, and sometimes signs of other ego states manifesting. I think Ts are just very attuned to the nuances of another person's behavior, demeanor, mood, etc. Sometimes I feel that I must talk to T about a certain thing when I go to see him, and I am not sure why it is so important that I talk about that thing. I have learned to listen to that impulse in myself, and I think it is from my unconscious. I am not sure what it means, but I try to bring it to therapy, and there it can become apparent.
Sometimes when people write, "trust the process," I interpret that in part to mean trust your unconscious to communicate with T and trust his/her ability to hear it.
