Echoes...

I am pleased that you have been able to share this with your T. It is not an easy journey..... You are doing the work, the painful work, the necessary work. I can relate you your not remembering what exactly was said. This is common in therapy I think... well it is for me at least. I can not even recount all that has happened in the latest month. Therapy involves sharing and resharing often repeatedly the same information so that you recount it in a number of ways so that both you and the therapist understand it a bit differently and work it through. It takes time to understand and to work through all of the emotions connected.

Sorry if that is too much schtuff for right now.

Bottom line... you are growing, you are increasing your trust in your therapist, there is much pain that you are finally finally releasing. Nurture yourself today.



I know that you worry about falling apart... I hope that with that you will not deny yourself the acceptance of the need to mourn or feel what you need to feel. This is a valid experience, what happened and what it brings out. That is part of the healing...is to take it in and look at it and as you can, feel it. You will find your time and way to do this bit by bit. The remembrance is part of protecting yourself.
