If you could choose any moment...

If you could choose any moment (real, or imagined) to share with your T, what would you choose? Feel free to elaborate - or not

I would choose for T to come and sit on the couch with me, and just hold me for as long as I needed.

Wow.... if I had one moment like that,

she would read me a story. She actually offered to read me a story once, during a session when I was very very stressed and said I only wanted to hear her voice, but I was too mortified to accept and hardly knew whether to take the offer seriously.

I would choose the moment my t actually comes back home from being gone for over two years, and i get to see her again, and we hug for a long long time, and get to to meet in person again instead of just over the phone

I'd pick the start of today's session. Our topic was CSA and I HATE to be cold. When I came in the room he had the space heater on full blast & pointed right at the place where I sit.

Imagined - the woman listens and understands what I am trying to tell her and why it matters to me.

I would like to be able to tell my T that I've met someone and I'm getting married.

In order to understand mine you have to know a quirky detail about my shrink. He has a thing for cars and owns a slime green Neon that he constantly works on but absolutely adores. One of the first self-revealing things he told me was he owned a slime green car. His face lit up and he was like a little boy excited about a toy. It was so endearing.

Now the car is getting to the point that he might have to replace it. So my moment would be to have a session where we went for a drive in that slime green car and I could enjoy his pleasure in driving it. (It even has a silly racing stripe!)

I'd like my T to be able to witness how much I change as soon as I'm in the same town as my family.

I would like to cry with my T, and see her crying with me. Not about something terrible, but just emotional crying that I've never done. I also wish she'd hold my hand again. Sorry for slipping in two moments.

Sometimes, she calls me buddy and rubs my back while I cry. I should note that she never tries to touch me without asking first because of standard procedure plus I am very jumpy. But in the right moment, I really really love that.

Being held is always nice as well as having (either) T just do the talking. I've also had the fantasy of T staying with me as I try to fall asleep --reading to me or just being there.

I would want her to hold me and tell me I was a good girl

It's hard to pick just one...but I guess I would want my T to be there when I'm in the middle of one of my "crises" - I actually did imagine him there this past weekend and tried to figure out what he would tell me to do or what he, himself, would do....but I wasn't quite sure. I just imagined him sitting there with me on the front step as I smoked my cigarette. And he wasn't judgmental and he didn't yell at me. He didn't look at me like I'm stupid or crazy. He understood it wasn't so easy. He held my hand. I put my head on his shoulder.

Having him there in my mind actually was very helpful. I wish he could really be there in those moments so he could see just how deep the pain goes cause I'm not sure he always understands. Well, I know he doesn't always understand cause there are times he prefaces with "I'm not sure I'm understanding everything you're saying..." If he was there in one of these moments, I have hope he might see what I mean.

I would wish for my T to get next to me on the couch and hold me without saying anything. Sometimes playing with my hair gently and letting me fall asleep feeling safe for once.

(((((((all)))))))) thanks so much for sharing your moment(s)

I want T to take me home and I sit on her couch and watch TV while she deals with her family like a normal mother. Then maybe she asks me if I want to stay for dinner. I say ok. Her son or daughter comes in and looks at me and i am awkwardly introduced. Maybe her husband likewise. Then we sit at dinner, and i nod sheepishly and make some conversation. I listen to everyone being polite on my account. Then later T drives me home.

Scenario 2 is T asks if I want to be hugged and I say yes. Then she hugs me and teaches me to relax in the hug because I am so tense. I eventually just melt into her arms.
