Sky, there are no ifs here--I AM overwhelmed. Maybe slowing down is not a bad idea.
I will discuss this with him on Tuesday. I was thinking I needed a break from therapy altogether but I'm not sure that's such a good idea.

Transference is a necessary element in most therapeutic relationships. It doesn't happen in short term usually, but only after trust is built.

There is a huge transference going on here. What I am having a hard time with is holding onto myself during these moments. I completely "become" little again. When T tries to pull me back and point this out it feels to the "little me" like he is angry. Even though I know he's frustrated and that is what I hear I still get freaked out. Then it's a downward spiral.

Sigh.
