Had a really hard session today. Wanted to fall on the floor sobbing so I wouldn't have to leave. Knew that would be infantile, so saved it until I got to the car. Cried for an hour before I could manage to drive the 3 miles home. Now wondering how I can possibly survive until my appointment Monday. Barely even scratched the surface today of all there is to tell. Don't think I have it in me to tell more - EVER. She moves on the the next patient and I have to go home and figure out how to deal with the secret that is no longer secret.

Point here is that I could really stand to feel the love - pretty much through Monday at 1pm!! I'm open to PMs too - hint, hint!!!

It's kinda like throwing up -- you feel bad for a little while, but it's better to get it out so you can start feeling better.

(((Girl)))) therapy can be heart-wrenching. You do need to let your T know about your response from this session. She can help lessen it a number of ways.

Yes, therapists move along to the next patient. But they don't forget you. Sometimes a T takes that 10 minutes or so inbetween to reflect upon what just happened in session, sometimes they spend it on you prior to the session... and always, at some time during their week, they REALLY dwell on each session, each patient and make notes and check methods and decide what steps they will take next with you to help you on your journey.

That there are others who also hurt does not diminish your hurt and your T's caring for you. That your T can also help others who hurt does not make her help for you shallow.

I think we have all felt like you have after this session. And from time to time it happens to us again. Yet we act like you too, I NEED MORE TIME but, thinking about what we feel like after just one hour, how much worse (more) would we feel if we had dug for TWO hours!?

sigh. just be sure to tell your T how long it took you to recover...therapy is designed to make us reflect... but not stop our lives.

I have nothing to add to all these caring posts except that I've been where you are and understand completely! When "my secrets" were coming out, I had to have hubby drive me because I would detach from reality completely. It was really tough waiting from one week to the next. There wasn't a group of friends I could go to for help. You have us. We understand and are here for you, ok? Shameless plea for attention

Stay strong,

hey girl, I read this and can't believe I didn't respond. In my heart I did. I know the place you are my friend and it passes and grows and ebbs and flows. Sorry to not respond earlier. You know what? I am holding you tight and nothing you can say or do will make me let go. Peace deary

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
