I literally got up and walked out of my last session when Doc said I would like to comfort the little girl inside of you. What the heck was I supposed to say to that? Have a session tomorrow and I know it will likely come up again, and I am torn between **** off and thank you. Anyone have any potential insight with this one? Anyone heard anything like this before?

I doubt your Dr meant it in a creepy way. Some people find this talk comforting, for others it is unnerving. Maybe this isn't what you need and your T misread you.
I've heard stuff like this over the years and it is just T stating a wish that they could make you feel "protected" "back then" etc. Personally, I find it sweet but there are many others who would be repelled by the implied intimacy. If you feel like it crosses a boundary for you, you have a right to tell T. |

Why do you think you felt the way you did? What was it about that sentiment that made you so uncomfortable that you left the session?
I think this will be a really valuable subject for you to explore.

It scared the begezzes outta me. It wasn't so much a boundary crossing as it is my utter uncomfortablness with any sort of intimidate encounter. Honestly we only had about 5 minutes left, so it wasn't that I left crazy early. I also told him I would see him Tuesday.

ah.. intimacy. You'll get plenty of that in therapy! (emotional intimacy). It's hard to suffer at first but something important to learn. We all need it.

He has been trying to get at it for 5 years. Finally starting to let him in and he pulls this stunt.

My t works a lot with my little girl, and it is very healing. Bit weird to get your head round though, you have to just let them do their t stuff sometimes and hope for the best!

I think that statement would scare me on a few levels, especially if I didn't really know the t, but seems like you have been working together for a while... I think if I knew my t better, this would be scary but comforting at the same time. Hmm...
