zoo, I'm sorry you're struggling with leaving your story with your T. I hope that you'll be able to one day. For me, it's about connection to my T more than the issue. Or, that IS the issue. You're doing GREAT work in therapy.

trying, what kind of therapy does your T practice? I'm trying to find out if this concept is common, or just certain Ts learn to use it.

ghost, I'm not sure if I'm glad or sorry that you relate to it. Sorry if you're missing that love when you're still very young. Please feel free to start threads of your own so we can support YOU.

I haven't emailed T yet. I don't see her until next Wednesday and that's a long time. My feelings are doing okay in the treasure chest but I wish I could have my session sooner.
