you know... if the expression "someone only a mother could love" is true,
and the mother didn't,
then if there really ISN'T any such thing as love between two adults,
if we are all just looking for our mommy or daddy,
I guess that's not so bad.
I could get used to it.
Maybe I already have.
And as for T's supplying me with the "unconditional positive regard" that the mother didn't give - well T means well I am sure, but I would be willing to bet money that her UPR doesn't even extend far enough to looking for me if I didn't show up tomorrow, or ever again.
She would just say, oh well, if that's her decision, so it is. Now who's next in my appointment book.....
Thanks for this!
ECHOES, geez

SAWE



I think you're wrong. Your T would call if you didn't show up at your session. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.
Thanks for this!

Sitting, I also think your T would be upset. T isn't allowed to show us how much they care. They have to be tough so we can be OK to experience and express. But they do care. I know they do.

I think we're in similar places. We'll find our way out. Right?

She cares, even if you don't like her homework.

I once thought that...until I told T that was what I thought and her her reply gave me the reassurance I was looking for, needing. Of course I don't know your T but its worth talking about otherwise we're having a conversation with our T's but without their actual feedback, a one way mind thing. Its aLways better to get it out of our heads and in to reality. And of course if reality were that ahe was that indifferent then looking for another T would be an option?
Thanks for this!

Hmmmm, I get the feeling SAWE that you would be afraid of getting a different reaction from others. I get the feeling that you are "comfortable" with this know reaction from others and I would even go so far to say that you do things to ensure that this is the reaction that you get..........
