I don't know if this is worthy of its own thread but I just really want to share. I have spent most of my adult life in and out of therapy....always searching for answers, the fix, how to get from point A to point B...trying to better myself yet missing the deeper context of the the therapeutic relationship. I am a loner, an isolationist. I keep my problems to myself and have viewed T's as professionals I have hired to help me fix me.
This therapy is different. I am pushing through the fears, the hopelessness, the fear that I can't be helped or that I am too broken. I am taking leaps of faith and have trusted my T with some of my deepest secrets and as a result, I have formed a real connection with him. I've never experienced this kind of compassion. In my world, safety is everything and my t has made me feel safe to finally, FINALLY be talking about things that need to come out. He isn't perfect, but damn, he won't give up and has this determination to help me that well, makes me feel like maybe there is hope for me. I've never had this kind of trust or care and well, it feels really good. As awful as the trauma issues are, he is making it okay for me. I'm still a major work in progress, but that connection thing...it's happening

Congrats! And, in between giving your awesome T credit for his work, pat yourself on the back for your willingness to keep trying, for being so strong and determined in your care for yourself! You inspire me to keep working, too.
