I see her again this Friday. She really gets attachment and trauma and has training in body work too so I feel we have an understanding with each other already. I was telling her about the one time I disclosed my feelings for ex t and she was disgusted by how my ex t reacted and said she obviously hasn't done much work on herself.
New t really understand complex trauma and how it affects your attachment. She asked what would I need from her that I didn't get from my other ts. I said I was like some compassion and understanding, she said that goes without saying. She also asked if I could tell her if I needed something around my attachment to her. I said that I probably couldn't, she said she couldn't guarantee she could provide what I asked for but that she is always open to look at everything and explore every avenue till client and therapist come to an agreement that is feasible and safe for each party.
She said that she feels a need to mind me after my last t. I said she didn't need to do that but I appreciated her kindness and honesty.
I really like her even though she is strange. She reminds me of someone who lives in a forest far away from everyone and lives off the land. She drew a diagram for me around my attachment style and her attachment style and outlined some differences we may encounter but encouraged me to bring up anything that I feel towards her. All feelings are welcome here, she said.
