How I feel now: Sad--as if someone died
How the session ended: I let out a big sigh and T said I seemed relieved. I was. How the session began: I experienced a huge struggle within myself in order to tell T the connections I have been making and the implications that are distressing. In the middle: What we hear is not always what is said. I sobbed with my head in my hands. I grieved my childhood abuse. T encouraged me to connect the dots between then and now and I heard him telling me to be quiet. (A huge transference.) When I spoke to him while still bent over he said he couldn't hear me. He was so soft and gentle. He practically whispered, "stay here with me Miss." I said I couldn't. Yet, I did. I stayed and I told him what has been running through my mind. I said it out loud. It is my truth--yet I still doubt me. The most solid part of this session is that I am beginning to get into a place where I can trust my body. The memories I have had are tactile--in that they have begun to arise out of body sensations (my surgery and my yoga classes.) I guess this is what they mean when they say that the body stores memory. Sigh.

Sounds like an emotionally and physically draining session, but productive.

Be gentle with yourself. Allowing yourself to believe is so much like a death - you are grieving the fantasy childhood, or the one that never was but should have been. Someone said "the truth shall set you free" but they failed to mention that this freedom comes with a really high price tag and its own war of independence.
You are doing good work. Hang in there. |
