Wow, this is me too, even to the point of telling myself that I don't know where it really is - but surely, even if only unconsciously, I do..

Avoidance is endless.... T is committed and strong in spirit but she WILL be retiring one day. We two do not have an infinite amount of time, and I feel an urgency to move into it.

If I ask T to put her finger right on the deepest pain, will she do that? After 2.5 yrs working with me, I know she could do this.
Perhaps T could do it, but will she? I know that my T allows me the space I need to move at my own pace...and doesn't fully know what's impacted me and what hasn't....and I also know that when I saw a pdoc for the first time, he went straight to the core pain - and I never went back.

So, if you feel safe enough and your T is willing and able, perhaps that would help you move through it...but I'm wondering if it's possible for it to come from T rather than you. Maybe your T can help guide you to discovering it though....

Curious to know how this turns out...Please post an update!
