I think that when T mentioned that you could invite anyone, you were immediately thrown into a transference. The exchange with T about the karate graduation allowed you to recall and begin to work through the pain of not having your mother at soccer games. I just think it's so amazing that this kind of healing can occur in the context of the relationship with T.

I go to therapy, intending to talk to T about X, Y, and Z, and instead this happens. Twice during the session, I zoned out and didn't hear what T was saying for a while, then I came back and tried to fake like I knew what was going on. But he caught me both times. "Where did you go just now?" is what he asks.

Thank you everyone. This was a very rich session. I am needing time to process and you are helping. Already I feel quite a few conflicting feelings about this, and they are changing frequently!
