My session last week seemed kind of blah, which normally would make me obsess about my T and what I want from her. For some reason, I only emailed her once, right after my session, and here it is Monday already! I'm not complaining, but it's weird. My brain is in a fog or something--maybe it's the hot weather.
Or maybe it's because she's back in town so I feel secure. Or maybe I really don't care about her so much anymore? Something changed since my minitrip, for the good. I don't know if it will last, of course. Tomorrow's session may bring back my usual frustrations about the T-relationship. I don't know.....I just feel kinda weird, and don't trust it. Anyone relate? |

It's good that you got a little relief and feel secure. Maybe it's a sign of things to come?? If anyone deserves it you do.

If you agree that your pattern was due to your mother's anxiety and that the T makes you finally feel secure, then just knowing this, I told you, is 90% of the cure.

Maybe this feels strange, but sometimes progress does feel strange!
 It's a little odd when we realize maybe we aren't carrying around a weight or burden we've been carrying around - feeling free of it can feel strange because we're so used to it being there, maybe we almost miss it, or as you say, don't trust that feeling of lightness or liberty. But maybe it really is progress, rainbow, and you could allow yourself to enjoy that possibility?!

This is great, rainbow! I understand that weird feeling - after something shifts - how suddenly it seems so simple and all the pain i had worked through fade away. But I don't question it. I don't examine it. I accept it. I am amazed by it. I am thankful for it. I know that my therapy is working.
You don't have to trust it. Just let it be and enjoy it.

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