ITs only now with this T that I see what I was needing and playing cards and being like "friends" though nice, wasn't what I needed to feel secure enought to go deeper. I look back on that T as my first steps into believe perhaps someone could care for me, but she wasn't "strong" enought for me to feel safe to do the real trauma work.

Well, I will say in his defense that he didn't WANT to play cards. When I brought the cards on Tuesday and we didn't play I said at the end of the session "we didn't play Uno" and he replied "thank god!". And I told him that for some reason it was a huge deal for me to sit on the floor and play, so he said we could try it on Friday. He trusts that I know what I need, and will usually try to give it to me, and we see how it plays out.

I do think he can handle the trauma work. I'm just not sure that I can

Thanks for replying, Mouse...
