If you don't mind me asking, Carinhart, how long have you been seeing this therapist? Is this your first therapy experience? How experienced is your therapist? In other words, has she been a therapist for many years or is she relatively young and new to the job? I think those questions are important when you're trying to determine what's going on when a client suddenly views their therapist as dangerous or about to hurt them in some way. That's a pretty significant change in perception, especially when you regressed ("to a small child"), disconnected from yourself and then come to, crying and being hugged by your therapist. I'm not saying that she is abusive or unprofessional in any way. I just wonder if she's aware of the different things that can happen to a client when they regress like this. I sure hope you and she are able to work through this in a way that is supportive and helpful to you!
