I also talked to him about my physical pains I have been having that only get worse when I come to therapy. (Pelvic ache and stomach problems) We talked about whether I would be happier with a female therapist and I honestly don't think I would be. AND I actually left there remembering the whole session and didn't dissociate!
I still feel good ... maybe tonight I will sleep. :-)
Thank you so much for all the support on this!
Good for you!! So glad you were able to communicate with your T, esp. since you were so distressed! I have trouble staying with my T in sessions - that's a big accomplishment.
