I'm not sure if she understood that when we were talking, and certainly I wasn't clear about it when I was talking about it here.

Beyond that, I don't know. There are deeper things at play here. I have a fear that she is changing the way we do trauma work to focus more on triggers because she wants to teach me how to handle them before she fires me. It comes back to a basic insecurity and fear of abandonment. I wonder if she's moving away (she mentioned selling her house a few weeks ago) or if she's going to refer me to someone else or...all kinds of things. She's tired of me. She doesn't believe me. she doesn't believe me.
zooropa all those thoughts about being abandoned, the therapist not believing you are natural. I have fallen into those same thought traps myself. talk to your therapist, let her know these things are worrying you. maybe she can clear things up a bit for you on what she is doing and why.
