I think my therapy has improved since I found PC. I have been working with my T for about 6 months and I was very uncertain about how therapy should look & feel and was so self conscious before I connected here. (Well, I'm still self conscious, but less so) I was in therapy about 15 years ago for 3 years but it didn't feel anything like my therapy does now. I realize now that it was a supportive but not therapeutic relationship. At the time, my best friend was also in therapy and I remember she used to ask me if I thought about my T outside of session. I said no, and she said she always wondered about her T. Now that I am in a therapeutic relationship I realize what a huge difference there is. I wonder if it was where I was at (emotionally) then or if the therapist was not so good (but I really liked her a lot) or if I couldn't connect to a female T. Now I have a male T. Many of the issues that are coming up now, were things I acknowledged to my previous T but never got to the feeling state. It could also be because of recent events that have triggered my trauma again. Gee, sometimes I feel like there is much time lost.
The forums here--this one and some others--have helped me to understand the work I am doing in therapy. Thank you all.
