Well, today I talked with my T.
It is always so so good to see him.
I really do like my T.

I was VERY VERY honest with him about some of the issues I still have.
Some things that have the very deepest roots in me... things that kill me on the inside that I NEED to finalize. I finally am done with the actual childhood trauma bits and happy with how all that is now put together.
And I know I can move into this next stage of healing... but I still dread it.

Even just this session where we barely talked about the ex-H junk had me a bit off kilter. The abuse was when I was 16-18 , so it is not like the childhood trauma. I have DID though and a lot of the abuse happened to me after my ex-H forced me into dissociation and had my young alter come out. Those of you with DID know how VERY VERY bad that is. It is something that a good spouse of someone with DID watches to make sure the younger alters are not "out" during certain activities of an adult nature.

Anyway, he was big into role playing.. OMG - that was NOT NOT NOT in my awareness until I just typed it out.

Guys, I don't want to do this part. I know it will heal me, and I know I only have to do it once. I want to shelve it but it is time to process through. My T has his holiday stuff for two weeks after next Tue when I see him. So I need to make a real plan for me on how to do the processing. I know he will be out of town, but I know I will be fine with the tools he has given me already.

Bottom line is I just don't want to do this. My Little One alter was just BEGGING me to NOT make her tell HER "dolphin daddy" (our T) about what the "very bad mean man" made her do.

Guys, I hate abusers. Why do they do this stuff and really make people suffer .. what now.. twenty three years after? almost a quarter of a century.

Sometimes I feel inside SO messed up. And some days I still feel shattered. Buy you know what? After being with my wonderful T for two years now :-) I am so amazed at how many good days I am having... days when I forget that I had that stuff happen to me. Days when I don't hear the insults and degradations. Days when I am ONE :-)

If anyone reading this is not in therapy and are considering it, give it a go. It CAN change your entire life. It saved mine. Very very litterally.

Onward and Upward!

sooo encouraging WEPOW... you've gotten through so much already, just continue to remember that you have... you sure will get through this new healing journey with T, involving the ex-H too, just remember where you've been, how you got through it ( as a reminder that your strong enough) but, most importantly remember... WHERE you are going & WHERE you are headed... and that is to more freedom, peace of mind, and hope. (((hugs)))

Such hard stuff. I admire your courage to know how hard this is, but that you feel confident enough in the skills you've learned and in your relationship with T to be able to work towards getting through it. I hope to get there someday too.

You will be in such a better place when you are done with this next phase. I am sorry that you have to do it though. You have accomplished so much already!!!!!!!!!!
