I get attention and praise. The goal would be not to need so much of that. Other people don't want to see my photos all the time, though we live in a world inundated with photos due to smartphones! If I had to get my pictures developed like in the old days, I wouldn't have this problem! But I always wanted attention and wanted praise. Thanks for bringing this up! It was helpful!
I think it's perfectly normal to show T photos. I do. I want her to know more about me than just the words I speak to her. She knows what my family looks like and I think it's nice that she can visualize the people I might talk about. It's part of being seen and heard which, for me, is a critical and maybe the most important part of therapy.
Thanks for this!
