I was just thinking about my last session, and a comment t had made about some of the stuff I was telling her. We were talking about perfectionism and my level of self-deprication that stems from childhood. She commented that the expectations we were held to were impossible to attain, and how she didn't realize things were "that bad". I think I know that on some level, but other stuff sticks out to me as more intense (bothersome? Uncomfortable? Traumatizing?) from mychildhood. I guess it was good that she sees something in it all because she had a better understanding of how things were growing up, but it's not necessarily what I would point out as the really hard and intense stuff. Maybe because it was so "normal" to me?
Is there ever a time your t seems to focus on something that seems so trivial to you?
