My own T says that exploring these things in therapy creates new neural pathways that help us grow and heal. It is possible to grow new pathways and change our patterns, even if it is terribly difficult and even though we may never be completely like people who grew up with 'normal' or 'good enough' attachments. |
Thanks for the link. My T says that EMDR changes the neural pathways in the brain.

She seems more like a 'real person' if that makes sense. Not sure if it's because I see that she sweats like everyone else? LOL!!! I don't feel so attached to her like I used to (like the first go around of therapy with her). Am I being defensive? I declined seeing her this week and decided to wait a couple weeks for an appointment.
Were you crying for the loss of not having those feelings be about your T anymore?

No, I still have the feelings about my T though I'm starting to accept that it's about me. I was crying because I feel close to her (talking about my parents made me feel close to her even though it's not about her) so it hurts that she is so private about her H. I'm glad that you're doing so well with being back in therapy with T1 again!
