My initial reaction was that I found her words comforting, but then I re-read it and considered how carefully constructed it seemed. Like, the 'perfect' response.
I've been putting a lot of faith in my T being able to help me... but what if she can't? What if it's all carefully constructed responses and stock answers? Smoke and mirrors? New age woo? What if there are no real solutions to my problems?
Maybe it can be chalked up to 'abandonment' or 'attachment' or 'rejection' issues...    |
Sounds like you are afraid of being disappointed. I think you are on to something when you write it might be abandonment or rejection issues. All of this is part of the therapy journey. When we have gone without what we need it is scary to trust that our needs can be met. It sounds like you have a good T though. Other people can meet our needs. The trick is finding these people and then allowing it to happen.
