Yes, exactly, Searchingmysoul. I think the anger and distancing are what I have to disarm, and it's hard. In talking about the recent anger, my T said she knows I feel vulnerable and protective, and yes, I guess that's it. When you drop your defenses, which is what you have to do to emotionally connect with those old experiences, you are open and vulnerable and more sensitive to everything else, too. Very hard.
Thanks.
