I've in what has been basically psychodynamic therapy with a trauma specialist for the last 6 years and that has broken down. Rupture and no repair.
I'm still very unaware of any needs -- not willing to touch that with a 10 foot pole. And my last therapist resembled people from my past and triggered reactions and feelings, or transference, that we could not resolve.
Ugh. "Why me?" Well maybe, why not. Happened to my late husband with a recurrence of a cancer that had been declared "a surgical cure" by our friend the hospital pathologist who examined the tissue.
I thought that was a horrible "wrong" perpetrated by. . .whom? The universe? It just "shouldn't be". Maybe that's OCPD talk. Or something.
Sometimes -- maybe always? It just is what it is.
Ugh. That's not grief, it's just . . .ugh.
Thanks for your reply. Gave me something to think about, for sure.
