Couch 111 - The Simple, Clear, and Informative Couch

But isn't that why you're supposed to swaddle babies?

Also you forgot to make an exception for Cleopatra sneaking in to seduce Caesar (or Antony? One of those guys).

Second this!

I think some tiny new borns get swaddled. But they just got squeezed out of a really tight dark warm place and thrown into light and noise. So maybe for them it is okay.

Really? The idea of being trapped in a blanket - not being able to walk or move your arms doesn't freak you out?
I am serious - even the kindest of caretakers could not overcome my horror at being bound.

Well, I am in a pretty grim place emotionally these days. I often feel that I need something wrapped around me as tightly as possible to keep me from breaking into pieces.

I do see the not wanting to be trapped. I might feel the same under normal circumstances.

Try water wings and a girdle. That way you are squeezed and protected, but your arms and legs are free.

You poor, poor woman. The mere thought makes my skin crawl. (sex is hateful regardless of circumstances, and Brad Pitt is not somebody I would want within a kilometre of my current position, ever. (If he were a km away that would on the other hand be good, because it would make my immediate surroundings quiet and peaceful since all the people would be over there looking at him. Win!))

I keep trying to log in as "Cactus". Maybe I should have picked that name instead. I am too prickly.

Cant stand these constant losses in transmission.

Yay! Home from work.

And I also age forty years in a second!

Its like she has a google camera aimed right at me!

Hey, just wondering do any of you worry about disappointing your T? Is this a normal feeling to have in the course of t/client relationship??

We could start a poll on it.

I do not worry about disappointing a therapist. I do not believe they are in a position to be disappointed or proud of me - that, to me, would give the therapist a position to me they simply do not hold.
But that said, I don't think, from what others have written, that it is unusual if people do be concerned about it.

Thanks! Want to start a poll for me? I am on my phone and don't know if I can do a poll on it.

Couch isn't made of leather

I don't believe there is such a thing as "normal", ever, in any context, but I think that feeling is probably not unusual. I certainly have it, a lot. And then I punish myself for thinking that I am that important to my T - of course he doesn't care one way or another. (That last only applies to me - I am sure that most or all of you are important to your Ts.)

Morning couch! We're going to the grand canyon s rim today and maybe heading home early. As beautiful as it is up here i just want to go home. Tooooo many people everywhere. Also this much togetherness is bad for my marriage. Happy sunday everyone.

I know I have in the past.... To the point of not telling her things that i should so she won't be. On the other hand she'd never show it so how would i know? I don't think about it anymore. I just blurt out everything now...

Its "fine Corinthian leather"

Some babies love it, others want nothing to do with it. My son loved it, my daughter would wriggle herself out of that blanket with a speed you wouldn't think a newborn capable of... I guess the same goes for grown ups...

Nah. I think a pretty crocus poking up through the snow suits you well

Many cacti have a crocus-like flower - often a rare, unexpected, but sorely welcomed brilliant burst of color. t

I once ate a cactus when I was a toddler. My sister had gotten it from someone as a gift and someone had placed it on the floor. I suppose I was hungry.

I have screamed and punched and kicked when accidentally trapped in blankets. Poor H. He has put up with a lot over the years. I have actually punched him twice. I would not have put up with that from him. The second time, he actually apologized to me because he knows how I am about being trapped and he thought he should have been more careful. I felt pretty awful about it. I lose all semblance of sanity and control when my legs are trapped.
