""He said, "Well, which poem should I bring with me?""
That is the most amazing session. I don't even know what to say except he is a wonderful T for you!
I'm very interested in the transitional object thing. I had always thought that was somehow crossing boundaries. I thought that most T's didn't accept or give things to clients, but in the past few weeks there have been several posts in this forum about T's giving people objects. How do T's decide when this crosses a boundary and when it is theraputic?
At the end of my last session I was having a lot of anger at my T. I'm sure it was obvious. I was writing the time of our next session in my calendar and she asked me if I wanted her to write it down and I said no because I was taken off guard and she'd never said that before. Now I wish I had accepted. Even a piece of paper with the next session time writen on it from her would feel nice. Seems needy but I wish I would have said yes.
