Pinksoil, I agree with Perna too. I got the same sense of power that she referred to when I was reading your post. My T and I have discussed this and he feels my dad and those unmet needs are the biggest issue I have.

For most of the first year with T though, I never said a bad word about my dad. It was mostly mom and other women like my boss. Once the transference took hold on me and I started frantically researching the subject, talking to T and you gals, I've realized that this is what I do in my personal life with other men and it is derived from my dad. The father-daughter relationship is far more important than I ever realized.

I say talk to your T about it. I haven't cried either in front of mine but I wish I could. Maybe it would advance me further personally.

I think since your last session, you have had many many insights! This is good but I know it is painful.
