That is a very good point. One reason I just submit to the rules, and suffer on my own is bc I do realize what would be enough? 50 minutes, 100 minutes, their whole day? Trauma is a never-ending story, until it gets integrated, so I do see how T's would be overthrown by client anguish if they tried to staunch it, especially if they have to care for their own. I can see how they might fear what looks like neediness too, but with Trauma clients, I do believe in our strength. It is just tested badly by the exact medicine that is supposed to help. It is a high stakes situation, in which despair and the relationship have a conversation. I just don't think my T sees any of that. He is 1000 percent intensive and kind of brilliant in session, and then he is all done with me, but he sees himself as on my team, trustworthy and there for me. It's confusing bc I don't see it that way. always. I see it as he asks for so very much, and then doesn't take responsibility in the Little Prince children book way that you are responsible when you set out to elicit trust.
