My story is similar to Olivia’s, but over 100 sessions/8 years. We have had a number of major ruptures., and I’ve considered quitting any number of times. We’ve worked through all of them, though it’s excruciating in the middle of one. I find them very dysregulating and destabilizing. That said, I have learned to stick with conflict and honor my anger and that relationships don’t just fall apart because people don’t agree. My mother was really good at utilizing the silent treatment and so to have a maternal-like relationship where we can have tough conversations has been really healing. But my therapist is really good at owning her part in ruptures and that makes a big difference.
