I just want my safe happy goofy loving T back. He was the only safe part of my life. Now he's all firm and disappointed.
Elli-Beth - I can understand this. My therapist scared me in a similar way a couple of sessions ago. It's so hard when they trigger stuff. It was so hard to tell her at the next session that she scared me. I still don't think I conveyed to her how much she scared me. I wished I could hide too.

hang in there, Elli-Beth. Even though it's hard to believe right now, you're still safe with your therapist.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,

in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
