It's Thursday and my session was Monday. Instead of posting here right away, I emailed my T all of my feelings about the session, and she emailed me back. I cried when I read her email because she gives me much more than I ever expected, and I'm so not used to being accepted so totally.
    I was able to let her see the baby part that I worked with myself at home (T was thrilled about my doing that!) and say out loud how that baby felt. She (baby) made herself very clear that she did NOT want T to have any other clients, just HER, and that she just wanted to stay with T all of the time. She told T exactly how she felt. After all that, T asked if she wanted her to hold her hand, and she hesitated, then said "yes." It was such a comforting session, and T's email response reinforced that. She typed her responses in another color throughout my email so she could give me complete answers, she said. She wanted to know if that was all right with me. ALL RIGHT WITH ME? I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful T!!! It's hard to put it into words right now. |

Sounds like a wonderful session! Was this the first time you worked with your baby part in session? Your T sounds very accepting of all your needs. You deserve her!

Thanks, everyone.
 Sunrise, I've done IFS with the child part who is older, maybe 5 or 6, who also wanted to hold T's hand. I also told her, as an adult, how I felt about my former T. But this was the first time I told her I felt those "baby feelings" about her. I told her without censoring myself. I never told any T the way I told her. I didn't try to "figure it out" because I may never know why I have these needs. I just said what was in my heart. Yes, WePow, it made me feel free!!

I think it is awesome that you were able to express yourself with your T and that she accepted you completely. That is so awesome.
