yeah, I think I may have a conversation around it with her. I need to figure out a way to take the safety of the therapeutic contact with me on a more regular basis.

stopdog, I would not be able to continue therapy if I found no safety in it... how does it work for you (if you don't mind my asking)? I think I have read somewhere that you really just use therapy as a platform for talking things through. I'm assuming your sense of "safety" comes from elsewhere. How do you culture that? I ask because I do not know how to gather a sense of safety on my own. Maybe I want to pose that question in another thread also... I'm interested in knowing where others get their sense of safety, and how they cultivate it.
