One of the big things we worked on was my hugely dysfunctional rel w my mother.it took a long time but I finally got to a place where I let go of the pain and was able to forgive my mom for the past. It is only after that work was done and only very recently that I am beginning to feel a natural lessening in my dependence on t. And part of that is when I think about her now between sessions, it's more about the work than 'her'. Like wondering how she will respond to something. I am starting to get in touch with what she calls my "inner therapist" now too, which is quite interesting..... I should share one of those internal convos sometime.
Anyway I struggled a LOT with that dependence on t. I didn't want it, fought against it, tried to quit therapy twice because of it, thankfully she talked me out of it, I can say now. As soon as I basically just let myself go with it, we got through that huge chunk of work about my mom.
Fascinating, this whole "process" and i am in awe of it as a whole.
