I have always insisted that I had a perfect childhood (denial). With the T I am working with at the moment I have accepted or in the process of accepting that my emotional needs we're not met as a child and they still aren't by my parents and my childhood wasn't perfect at all.
What I am finding with therapy at the moment is that when I get my uni marks through or I achieve something, I really want to tell my T, just like you would to your parents if they were interested.
I am finding that my T is really helping when I am struggling with anything, we sit and chat about it and find a healthy solution for example I was saying I was thinking of staying up all night to finish my uni assignment, she looked really concerned and said that she could imagine me being completely worn out and not able to function for a good few days after and she really didn't want me to go down that route as she was concerned for my well being, it was the way she said it and the look of concern on her face that is so different from what I have ever experienced before.
Now if I had told my mum that, she just would said of oh and changed the subject. No concern no nothing.
This is still new ground for me so finding it all a little strange.
