Yes. My T had never used out if session contact before. It had never come up so she took it to supervsion and took some time to see if she felt that working in this way would be sustainable for her and beneficial to me.
She also asked if she could take one of my nightmares to supervision.
I don't really know if it has been useful to be honest, except to help her I suppose, which in turn helps me. It did bring up with me the fact that my T may never have worked so in depth with anyone before which does hinder ever so slightly sometimes when I doubt that either of us has got a clue what we are doing. Realistically though isn't that the nature of relationships? Learn and grow?
Interesting question though because it has been on my mind recently. I want to ask my T if she talks about me with her supervisor. I am very careful about which questions I ask because I don't want answers to some of the questions I have, for fear they won't be the answers I want. I don't think I am ready to know what it is that they discuss, if they do; just whether they do or not. I think I want to know because I want to feel like I matter enough to discuss.
