This is a really interesting post to read, and I think I agree with you on the bit I've bolded, but at the same time feel a bit dim because I'm not entirely sure what is meant by regressing/internalizing as such. And what exactly does letting down defenses entail?
This is a great thread Mouse, thank you for starting it.

Letting down your defenses is about becoming vulnerable, open, and receptive. But it's not something that is totally conscious. YOu have to feel safe to do it! Sometimes that means someone stronger, protective. Does your T have those qualities??
Sorry, i just don't think your T is the type to do this level of work. I mean in depth...You have the capacity; but does she? It's as if she is playing out your pattern, when meanwhile, she's supposed to stop it..
ps sometimes people refer to 'the inner child' as something similar, i believe....
