"He said it's about the energy in our relationship creating that feeling, not the energy of the space."

I would disagree and say it's also very much about the physical space - it's important to feel safe when working with a T and where you go to do the work can have a profound effect on how the client feels.

I hope you get used to T's new office space quickly @LonesomeTonight

Thanks, East...

I know this isn't for me, but I'm freaked out by R going virtual for the summer.
During our virtual sessions over lockdown, I feel like I cried at some point every week.

If I wanted to book a six-week detox, then I would do so.

The stuff we bring up in therapy is a lot to hold alone, and T being on a screen is very different than sharing a physical space.

I appreciate you helping me understand that maybe I'm not being selfish here.

In which case SD should continue to distrust the process.
But at some point in time, the cart had to be behind the horse.

So, no. One must engage in the process to attain the eventual results of the process. Or as Jesus would say, you reap what you sow. I can't believe i had to go there!

Stopping therapy is not the same as never having participated in therapy. But i think my first h would have argued it was! What was wrong with me
