This story is describing to the point what I had spend my whole life doing in relation to my mother, subconsciously hoping that it will be different with each and every new try.

My T is very well-read and a writer himself so in every single session he uses stories, tales, mythology, poems etc etc. to illustrate what he is talking about.. It's something that I really love, I feel connected, since I too share his interest and love for these things, and it helps a great deal.
