We weren't really talking about anything too touchy, just various practical things and suddenly I just got overwhelmed with emotion, melted down and told her I just want to go away and escape somewhere for a while. Escape from the emotional burden, escape from some changes going on in my life, just get away from everything. In the midst of this little meltdown in T's office, I felt like she was somewhat disconnected, which was bothersome considering I was being so open and just letting her see how I really felt in that moment. Has anyone ever felt disconnect from T while being open about stuff? Some stuff just hit the fan this weekend (yesterday) in regards to my job and I just generally feel like EVERYTHING is falling apart right now. I have no support IRL and just feel alone.  |
I am soooo sorry you felt your T was not connecting with your outpouring of your heart. I wish I could have been there to hold your hand and tell you to just let it all out because that's what T should have told you to do. We all need to just let it go sometimes and get it all out.It doesn't solve all our problems but it gives us some emotional space to work on what we need to do a little at a time.
I don't have a lot of support IRL either but there is great support on this site and it has help me so many times to fill in for what I don't have IRL.I hope you can tell your T you didn't feel like she was hearing you and how you can work that out so it will feel better in the future. Sending you big hugs.
