Ok.. so, somebody please remind of this post the next time I am complaing of T not getting bacck to me by phone or e-mail. Sure, he has weakness, we all do.. but his strength def. out weigh them!!

We T asked me for the first time about being abused, I told him yes and that I was raped. That was it, but some house since august, I have been able to open up with him about the rape and so much more. So, today.. we were talkin about a number of different things, some of it including sex, intimacy, etc.. It felt ok. The fact that he is a man did not bother me at al.. Huge step for me.

Then, we started talking about my inner voice that I had mentioned in a previous post and how broken I feel. He help me to see it from a different perspective. My inner voice isn't broken now, just needs some tweeking, it is a littleon overdrive. He talked about how some of it is taught to us when we were young. I didn't get taught, what was wrong or right behaviors, or good touch vs bad touch.. So, I didn't necessarily have the inner compass that others did to steer me away from the people who raped me. That was "Light bulb" moment number 1 for me.

Then, we were talking abot my fears with partenting..I was talking about how I don't want my brokeness, my messed up crap, to mess my kids up. He reminded me that I had already given my kids more than my parents ever gave me. That was a huge "light bulb: moment for me. Huge.. Right now, in the here and now, I am doing everthing I can to be a good mom.

I am amazed at the openess I have with him and just how natural today felt. I am so glad he is my T!!!

It's is is great, you are making great progress and should be proud of yourself! Your T sounds great... We all get the moments where we moan about our T but it sounds like things are going really well...

that is a great insight about your little voice. no wonder I get into such long arguments with mine. I simply don't know if it can be trusted. that makes sense.

This is wonderful...I'm glad you and your T are connecting like this. I'm starting to think that real, genuine connection is rare, even in therapy, so it is nice to hear this.

can you save the post somewhere you can look at when you need reminding? those light bulb moments are precious ones; I'm glad the openness worked

im glad you find talking to him easy and helpful, you are doing great work

That is great you have such a balanced view! Your T sounds great and you are getting some healing. You are able to talk to him about really difficult topics. Love your lightbulb moments!
