If you were not doing the work, it would not hurt this much. That is something my T told me when I said I was angry with myself for running from the pain and not "doing therapy" . Hope this helps!  |
Wow, WePow....I didn't think of it that way. Seriously, WOW....I guess I didn't realize that this was part of the work! I guess it's just hard because I've been seeing T weekly for 14 months, and I still am not there yet with feeling safe and trusting. UGH. I do know that there have been a few moments of major breakdowns in his office where we've touched on some things of importance. And then I go straight back to either avoiding or dealing with current crisis situations....I'm not creating the crisis situations (major blowups with my boss, my ex's craziness), but they do serve as a distraction from the deep stuff....
Thanks for helping me see, WePow, that I am still doing the work. Wow.
