 . This was all T1 though. This week I told T2 about this issue with T1 and he said we'd figure it out. T2 started to give me something to try but then said "No, wait. Bad idea. That might frustrate you." So instead I am working on a different worksheet and T2 is pondering the situation.

dang, that does sound confusing... Just read your reply, glad T2 is working on a different approach with you! Thank goodness, I think I would have gone nuts trying to figure T1's method out!

I should probably add that I cry and just continue to talk while I am crying and mostly ignore it. That MAY be the issue.
 But usually I am trying to tell something & just want to finish the story. |

Good question! When I am upset and my T looks at me with such compassion and kindness, I just allow the emotions to surface so my T can help support me.

I've been thinking about this...
For me, a couple of the main things that allow me to let me emotions surface (and I'm talking specifically in session as it is meant to be a safe place to learn this). Trust: I trust my therapist - she has created a safe space. I trust the process - once i stopping trying to understand and control the process and just let it unfold I trust the theraputic relationship - this is part of the safe space - it contains the acceptance and compassion and non-judgement from my therapist. Control: Letting go of control. Stop trying to be who I think I should be or feel what I think I should feel. I've learned that my feelings and emotions are valid... and there's not enough room inside me to keep them contained. I've learned it's ok to let them out and I've learned a lot about myself in doing so.

I think that when I start to feel like I want to cry, I don't push down that emotion. I feel safe with my T and I believe that being vulnerable is actually a sign of strength. I want my T to see the real me...

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