Thats interesting. I think my previous ts would have agreed with you. They were pretty adamant about making therapy adult-to-adult. It always felt like they were smirking at me, like they knew something i didnt know. But my current t was willing to work with the neglected inner child who was coming to the fore, and was taking over. I kinda feel like i am living life backwards. I was super responsible at a very young age, ignoring my feelings. Now im learning to take care of myself. Someday i might even ask for help? Idk - that sounds crazy.
