I have just hit the one year mark with T and am now seeing him twice per week.
When I began therapy, I decided I was going "all the way" with this. I was in a lot of pain and decided everything within had to come out. I had a lot of toxicity inside from overexposure to life's intrusions. Even though I thought I knew about therapy, I really had no idea what to expect and WOW, I am humbled.
I feel ever more so commited to the therapeutic process now. As the relationship gets deeper and more intimate, I find that I am more and more able to expose some of those parts of me that frightened me last year. I wonder why things within us frighten us if they are just part of us?
In just a few short weeks I have come to accept that every word T says may not be words I agree with, but I am more and more able to tell him when I don't. It's okay, because it makes the relationship so much more real!
So, T and me.
