You definitely speak ( eloquently) for me too. I am put together and productive, and I use my capacity to compartmentalize horrible things from the past away from my "here& now" t go on. My T wants to rip off the bandage and integrate everything. Ummmm- ouch it hurts after sessions when I try to please him and give the stories he wants. The side effect is, while I usually trust and adore my T, at those times I feel summarily dismissed from session and ignored between, and I start to view him as the talented Mr Riipley. Your opening post? Agree with every word.
