Thank you, Rive. You've brought in some smart points to consider.
Yes, the incident with the hugging brought up a core wound. One, a rupture t & I had early last summer. I haven't been able to fully let go of it yet (I so wish I could!). I don't understand why she had to say, "I was becoming uncomfortable" with the long hug. Obviously, that was an unusual situation. Doesn't she know that? Normally our hugs are warm, but brief...no reason to think they wouldn't be, normally.
2nd, some of M's behaviors towards me feel scorchingly like my mom's did...love/reject (my mom was mentally ill & extremely unpredictable...she could be loving and kind or cruel, abusive, and delusional).
I like the idea of writing down a few ideas, and I can certainly do that without being blaming. And I will be doing that today, although I'm worrying about the video M wants to show to me. That will probably require all the time in the session.
I do describe myself as an "intense" person, because I do have strong feelings, I am an impassioned person, and I also work very hard at whatever I happen to be working on - be it myself or a job. When I use the word to describe myself I don't intend it as a judgment, just as a descriptive word.
