He disclosed some more about his family. I began to experience safety again. Good old T.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Self disclosure can be so healing for the client. Your T knew just what to do.

We agreed that he will intervene a bit more to help me when I am so very lost.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">That must feel good, to know he will help you not be lost. My T has told me he will do this for me too, if I need it, as I have dissociated before with him there. He will connect more strongly to me to make sure I stay present.

He said he felt lucky that he had patients who try to find their voice.
