Thanks, Dr. M.....I know T and I have to work through this somehow. I just don't want to be the one sharing my feelings about it, not right now. I'm too
at the moment....
I'd like to better understand why my T did what he did. What was his purpose? Was this for my benefit or his? How would he envision this working for us? What impact does he believe this would have in our client/T relationship and is it worth the risk?
...and indeed, I do have a very long history of trauma surrounding trust and abuse. T knows this...big time. Which helps me wonder what he was thinking in regards to this when he originally suggested these things.
