Could you tell him that you're having strong feelings from a very young part of you, and you need to just vent them, and to take it all with a grain of salt because it's coming from that childhood part?

Mostlylurking,
I'm not sure where he is going. My T always lets me text him and he always responds empathically, so I have no worries about him. He always validates that part of me and assures me it is okay to feel that way. I, on the other hand, was unsuccessful last seige at calming myself down. This is concerning to me. I am not in control of me, the best I can hope for is to make it through no matter how painful it is. And this is quite scary. I know I will make it through, but knowing how painful it is causes me to have massive anticipatory anxiety. I bought a book a few weeks ago and plan to read that. I plan to take a long drive. I plan on posting here. Thank you.
