I got to see even more of my T's "human-ness" (even though I already had a really good idea of that)-- and she saw me and my best and worst. T learned all sorts of new things about me and i about her, and we learned even better how to work with each other, how to talk in an even deeper/ more intense way to get more out of things (and of course, sometimes we just ate pizza or goofed around, but probably 70% of the trip was trauma work). It was hard but so helpful. I hope you will find your week the same.
thanks sarah michelle/starry night ive followed your thread about your trip and it sounds amazing. so happy for you that you got to do that. although i know i need to talk about trauma and issues...im also deep down secretly hoping for some normal or typical day-to-day experiences with T.......just because so much of my childhood experience with my mom was not normal and i think it would be so healing to have those experiences and be able to hang onto them instead of my memories being harsh.
