The therapist told me something today that I do not understand. She said I could let her be the good mother. I have absolutely no idea what this means. It came up at the end and I did not understand what little she said about it plus she does not exactly shine at explaining things. It sounds horrible in general and what I know about good mother stuff does not seem like a good plan. More like a seriously bad plan. I would like to read up on using a therapist for something like this (I frankly get neither part of the equation - what I would need a good mother for at this point, I think my own mother was not good enough, or how it is for a therapist to be such a thing even supposing I learned what good the idea was). Does anyone know of a book or treatise or article on the use of a therapist like this? I am looking for something that would explain to me what the therapist would have to do with any of this.
