After spending so much time with my T, I find that I have become my own T.
I have learned soooooooooooo much from her. I know what is going to be said by her. I still like to hear her words, but I tend to try to predict her words. This is a sign I need her more and more, but its also a sign she is doing her job and I am learning. Learning to live my life without a T..?

I think this is actually the goal of therapy. Our T's are the voice of sanity and reason. I was in therapy years ago for about a year, and then my T moved away. He referred me to another T, but I didn't hit it off with him and decided to go it alone. For years, when problems arose I could hear my T's voice in my head. I knew the questions he would ask me if I brought it up in session, and that helped me to deal with things. We'll be in therapy forever unless we learn to be our own T's ... eventually. It sounds to me like you're making good progress by being able to do this. Doesn't mean you need to stop therapy, but I think you should be proud that you're able to do this.

Yes, internalizing some of your T is a good thing :-) When I still get ornery or pessimistic, I hear my T's voice from 25-30 years ago saying, "Not with that attitude!"

That sounds very good, Sanada!
Sometimes my T is in my head or the voice of reason in my dreams. I am still at the point though where I find its frustrating! Let me be. Sheesh. |
