Working with my dreams has been my favorite part of it all I think. I've been a profound dreamer my whole life, and always figured they must mean something, but not until this t did I learn just how much I could grow by working with my dreams. She is very, very skilled at dream work and has taught me well.

Maybe I'm unsure of the therapeutic value of it? I feel the benefit of talking about things I've not talked about before and feeling emotions that I've shut out for years, it feels therapeutic just being with her when I am feeling a lot of emotion. I read some stuff about the neurological basis of psychotherapy, how the nurturing relationship changes your neurology. I can't see how the analysis really fits in with this? On the positive side I feel really changed by my therapy so far, it has really helped. I think about quitting everyday.
