I've been with my therapist for 7 months and she is a very caring person...Today she called and went up against one of my not so friendly sides...She remained cool and try to reach another part of me, but I wouldn't allow it...I know the only reason she called was because it's her job and she does it well...I've read a few posts here and the anguish ya'll go through with the therapeutic relationship is something I never want to go through...Not sure of the point of my post, maybe I'll think of it yet...FindPeace

Well maybe we can help you get to what you want to say... I assume by the title you are talking about the part of you that many of us have.... the 'rock' part; the part in which we do not want to let T tear down. The part that holds all the shameful stuff, the anger, the vulnerability.... why would we want to let anyone in to that part of us? I have been with my T for almost two years, and I am just starting to allow him in to those pieces of me. Did you write this post because you feel you might be ready to let your T in a bit? Because you are frustrated that you haven't? It sounds as if you may have let her in a little by letting her see your "not so friendly" side. How did that feel for you?
Your T called because she cares. Yes it is her job to be your T... but T's don't 'have' to call. They really don't. She cares. |

Yes its the strong part, the part that doesn't want to depend on anyone but me...I've been taught through alot of emotional abuse to not rely on anyone to share my feelings with...Just doing so on this forum is extremely hard for me...
My not so nice side told her that my father molested me when I was very small...I know thats not true, call it denial or whatever but he couldnt of done it so I dont know why this other part is saying he did...But my T believes that it happened, maybe not by my dad but someone did and I dont remember but all the signs point to it............ Confused full of rage wrapped up in a knot... |

FindPeace,
I understand about opening up......was in therapy 14 months before really letting T in....sharing means you feel vunerable and frightened. I hate opening up....but Ive come to realize that I need to to get better.Keep trying. Wishing you the Best |

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