Kiya,

I totally get what you mean about the sharing of information and how that can feel intrusive and repeat a pattern of a boundary-less childhood. I grew up in a family without boundaries and learned to hide as a result. I don't know if this will help but now I think of T and p-doc as part of my "team." The team includes me, T, H, SIL, pdoc. The other day, T and I shared a smile about this whole idea of a team. But in fact, it makes me feel held and safe because I know these people all really care a lot about me.

For me, the challenge is differentiating--knowing that my team does not include any members of my family of origin. That is hard and I am very careful not to slip up and speak about my therapy to my sister because I don't want to spoil things.

I imagine this is hard for you because you are still living with your mom.

We are with you girl, keep up the good work. The best part of your post is that you were able to articulate all of this!!!!! Way to go.
