TMC
It's completely ok to discuss the relationship, it was just more of a debate if it was too much of the sessions focused on that, as her T suggested. I agree, based on the write ups that it seems to be... especially knowing the relationship wont last. Sometime it has to end, and that sucks, but it's what we all face.
In my view of things, I am more concerned about her working on herself and getting better with whatever her needs are. I want her to look back a year from now and see a lot of progress in herself, so its' why I'm trying to politely encourage her to focus on other stuff...however if there is an issue, sure bring it up....
I wont ever bring them up anymore, because I know my T's limits and I can't deal with more ruptures.... but everyone is different.
LT...I hope I'm not coming off rude, not my intention, just looking out for you. I want you to be happy and make progress and not keep feeling stuck in these feelings.... I know how it is, anxiety is a nightmare. Your T seems to handle stuff fairly well, but there is still alot of discomfort with the attachment stuff and I feel, based on write ups, he will keep putting up the resistant, so from my view, that's why I feel, it's best to just let back a bit... at the end of the day though, its your therapy. I'm just doing my best to support, even though I'm terrible with words sometimes
Also, don't feel too bad about the comments on here.... one reason I refuse to post details about my T anymore, is so much hateful comments about him and us that I got. I wont judge your T as a person, I don't know him. I just know I can sense the discomfort with the attachment, maybe you need a T like that, that has the resistance, idk. Anyway, enough rambles.... LOL
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and hope you have good sessions next week too.
