Thought this would be cool to share these moments....

One bad one was when after a really bad session, I found two txts waiting for me from my T. The first was obviously not meant for me and then the second was an apology.

He felt bad about the screw up so that was good enough for me.....

But really after a really bad session when I needed support? Grrrr

Best moment... when I broke down for the first time and he hugged me and let me cry on his shoulder for a few minutes.

Worst moment.... what I did Friday that seemingly made things bad.

Also, during the early days I tried to leave a voicemail but he picked up the phone instead... I freaked out and hung up. Terrible feeling. Selective phone anxiety...

OMG, that so could have been me. I hate phone calls, and switching from voicemail to a live person would mess with me too much....

well he gave the number saying it was his voice mail and then suddenly...

Hello T speaking...

And its like what?! Why are you speaking..... dont speak...arrrghhhh!

He has learned that there is no point ringing me cos I wont pick up. Tho I am not normally that phobic but its like it was with my dad. Only much worse.

Worst moment(s): In the early days, when T wouldn't answer my questions.
Best moment: Recently, when my T told me she is proud of me.

[healinginprogress]

Worst moment: When I was in the throes of fire and rage, she told me I was expecting too much of people.

Best Moment: Pretty much every other minute of therapy.

Worst--- when she told me her house had sold and she was moving out of state.

Best-selling. I think when we had been working on something in regards to my mom for a LONG time. T has been trying to help me understand some things bit I always had doubts. One day though, T said something she had always said bit worded it a little different. All of a sudden it just clicked and all made sense. It was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders because I FINALLY beloved all that T had said.

Worst: One day when I was driving him crazy, and he said, "blah blah blah, it makes me think my type of therapy doesn't work for you." It felt like being slapped, and I thought, "oh great, he's finally going to throw me out."

Best: When I told him I'm applying for jobs outside the area we live in and asked what we would do if I got hired and had to move, and he said we'll work it out.

Best and worse was my last session. I cried the entire time as we touched on an area that I haven't been before. It was so good and yet so painful.

Worst moment:receiving a specific diagnosis
Best moment:being told I made so much progress I no longer have that specific diagnosis anymore

Worst - well there were 2 - the ruptures. #1 when I hung up on her during a phone session where we'd yelled at each other and didn't call her for 3 extremely miserable days. #2 this past summer when things just absolutely imploded and I walked away dazed not really knowing what happened and ended up quitting via email and stayed quit for a week or so before emailing and un-quitting. We somehow worked through both of those and our relationship got stronger both times.

Best - there have been a LOT of bests over the past 6+ years. A really lot. Like, well the working through the two ruptures. And the session where I read my fairy tale to her (I'd re-written my childhood as a fairy tale as a homework assignment) and we sat there laughing so hard at times we were both crying and I could barely read out loud. The phone session where I told her I'd published some of my poems and she squealed her excitement. This past Thursday evening was another one she gave me something so precious by demonstrating that what I want matters. Way too many to try to recount them all here. Therapy has been such an incredible journey thus far.

Worst: when ex T told me I wouldn’t get better and that she couldn’t help me
Best: not many great moments but when T told me that I’ve made progress but I just don’t acknowledge my success. Totally gave me a new perspective

[fille_folle]

Worst: I was the victim of a violent crime (yes, that one) the weekend after Thanksgiving and my previous T didn't have time to talk to me.

Best: Hard to pick just one. When my previous T told me she would still be with me, we would just be physically apart... that we weren't done - when I moved a few hours away. That meant a lot. And she was true to her word.

[Elio]

Worst: when T told me Ok in response to "I love you" on the phone call right before her vacation, as if she didn't even hear what I said

Best: there are lots of them, here's one that stands out - when she said it would be ok if a part of me always sees and loves a part of her as mommy

[CharlieStarDust]

Worst - she raised her voice in a dismissive sort of way - when I was feeling somewhat vulnerable about sharing something.

Best - every other moment. We laugh a lot, she's very smartly funny.

[captgut]

Worst: one awful session
Best: a lot. When I said "I love you", when he said "I love you", hugs, funny moments, giving him birthday presents. A lot.

[ScarletPimpernel]

With current T: Worst moment: had a session with H there. She wasn't listening to me even though I was telling her that and crying. We had to have a second session just afterwards to calm me down and work things out. Best moments: several: first hug, her telling me she cares about me, her saying she won't leave me or abandon me, etc.

With ex-T: Worst: when she terminated with me. Best: when she gave me a long hug after forgetting about me on vacation.

[stopdog]

worst-any time the woman talked
not as bad as worst - when she didn't

[Out There]

Worst times were ruptures

Best times working on something in the way I wanted to and working through the ruptures.
