I have a great idea!!! In your next session, detail a dream that you had (it is a dream, if you think on a different level). Tell her, in this dream, which was very disturbing mind you, that there was a child who was in a deep place, reaching out to someone above to lift her out. The person they were reaching out to would not reach back. It caused the child anguish, or deep disappointment. The child pondered within herself, "Should I refrain from reaching out? Am I unlovable? Perhaps I should not reach out again. Touch is confusing to some, and I guess I shouldn't be worthy of such an encounter from a person I trust. Maybe I should throw in the towel." Just then, in the dream, the person the child had reached out to gently reconsidered. She reached out and pulled the child up from the pit. The child was grateful. From then on the child was no more afraid to trust another in this manner. If your therapist is worth her weight in salt, she will analyze this dream to interpret what one might be to inhibited to express directly. Hope this helps my friend! Tell us how it goes!!! <3
