What therapist said hurt......
I am in a bit of a state. I got news 2 days ago that some people from my past are in town and I will be seeing them tomorrow. Since finding out my anxiety has quickly been getting really high, because there are a lot of difficult memories that are surfacing. I haven’t seen them for more than 14 years…….
I know…..I don’t need to go….but I do want to see some of them, they were dear dear people. But the rest…..arggh!!
So I emailed my therapist last night just outlining what is going on for me, and saying I needed support somehow. He emailed back right at the end of the work day today……and ended with “I look forward to hearing what happened”. It seemed....cold when I read it.
Somehow this really hurt and upset me, and so I emailed him back and said that I don’t understand how he can look forward to hearing something that is going to be so painful for me! Sheesh!! Was I being super sensitive, out of line, or could it have been somewhat more supportively put? I know therapists are human, it was late Friday……but still.
I really am flipping out, only just keeping it together, stopping myself breaking into tears constantly in front of my boy………you see, there is so much shame and fear attached to this as the memories lead me down a hole to other similar deeper and even more painful memories.
Support and thoughts about what my therapist said would be good please……
