I had a rupture with T last year. It had something to do with my fear she would take away some of the things she does that comforts me...before I was ready to let go of them. I was going to quit therapy because I was afraid T's answer would confirm my worst fear.
I emailed PrevT about it. I appreciated her reply.
I hope it helps, firecracker-
"I think that there is a part of you that continues to feel that if she (T) disappoints you at all (which being human she is bound to do at some point to some degree…just as I did/do), that there is no recovery of a caring relationship…Your fear is founded..humans do inevitably disappoint the ideal relationship…yet the true value of a relationship is that it can and does recover a closeness. Trust is built on the recovery…not on the incident.
Does that make sense?"
