I talk about what happens in this group with my T and it has helped me so much. At first I thought I was being disloyal to my T, but now I know that my T is there for me during sessions and my group T is there for me when I am in group. Could you maybe write a letter to your T about the massage and your fears about talking about it with him? Or if you do decide to share, could you sign a release form so your T could talk to your massage T?

Thank-you - yes it did feel very risky, but I read someones signature the other day, about not moving forward if you stay where you are, so I do try and push forward when I can. Yes maybe I could talk to T about the massage thing, I just worry that he will be cross for me not telling him beforehand - plus the way she reframed the trauma thing is very different from the work that he has been doing with me, and I don't want to make him feel criticised - but hey he's the T with the training and qualifications right? So he should be able to handle it????

Wow T and massage T talking to each other about me - that feels a bit scarey - maybe beneficial, but still scarey

I shall stick with poor old T - I wonder why is it so hard with him though - thanks Butterflies Are Free
