I'm so mad, I wrote a HUGE post about my horrible session today, and it got erased. I think my T and I may have had our first rupture, but I don't have much experience with it and I need some help identifying what happened. It was the worst session in months, and I never want to see T again right now. I've been crying ever since I got home. Uggggghhhhhh, I just need support or hugs or anything to let me know there are people out there I'll post about the session tomorrow, right now I need sleep.

Oh, how frustrating and sad that the post disappeared. I try to be philosophical about that and think there was something not quite good enough about it that my cyber self knew about and having to write it again gives me another, better chance to make it awesome

Sorry too you had an unpleasant therapy session that left you crying; hope a good night's sleep gives you a better place to consider it from.

You really aren't alone in this sweetlove. There are a few of us that have had bad sessions with our T's this week and have felt like quitting because of it. So please, know you're in good company, get some well deserved rest and come back and repost so the wonderful people here can help you out.
Thanks for this!

((((((((((((sweetlove)))))))))))) I know it's hard and I am sorry, really I am. I do understand and hope you can work things out! I think you know I have had bad bad sessions but worked things out, it can be done, the rupture can be repaired and the trust and connection still be there!
Thanks for this!

I am an *expert* on therapy ruptures!

T and I have talked about this a lot...how painful and scary and awful and foundation-shaking they feel when they happen...and how empowering and reassuring and trust-building it feels once they are repaired. It's just awful getting from "here" to "there".

The first time I had a rupture with T, it was on a Friday, and I spent the weekend in tears. I was surprised at how awful it felt. I wrote a long e-mail, editing and re-editing and re-editing and it helped me sort out my thoughts and feelings a LOT. I never sent it...but by the time I saw him on Monday, I was able to take all of those thoughts and feelings and express them to him, and it was the beginning of the repair. It was awful, but I learned a lot about relationships and trust and was the first REALLY big step forward in my healing.

When I have ruptures with T, posting here helps a lot. Let us support you while you are figuring all of this out...

I hope you were able to get sleep last night.

Hugs and more hugs to you

Thanks for this!

You are all so sweet, love you all....thank you

I'm going to start a new thread because there are some triggers, it means so much to get the support and know I have people willing to listen.

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