I want to cry. I want to cry my eyes out like a baby. I want to go to bed now at 7:30 pm and stay there for ten hours. My therapy is getting so close to my heart and my core. I am getting close to myself and tonight T was so close to me. He was so right there with me today. His empathy was soft and his interpretations spot on. I was able to tell him about my shame. I find this kindness really hard to accept. I am not accustomed to anyone being there. I have held these parts of me apart and separate and hidden for most of my life.

OMG THE TRANSFERENCE IS SO INTENSE I WOULD WALK ON COALS FOR HIM!!!

Oy.

Sounds like it was a wonderful, connected session. I'm glad your T was able to be right there with you.
Thanks for this!

Sounds really intense...shame is a tough on to share.

Your mention of transference makes me feel like I am ready for another thread about it.

Although I know nothing of this type of transference (lol) I will comment on this post anyway.

Wow. Seriously, I can sort of feel the intensity of your feelings just from your post even though it is basically impossible to convey such deep emotion with words. Moments like those go so much deeper than words.

Sounds like total validation-- the parts of yourself that were hidden are now coming out because you trust him-- and he's responding by being gentle and caring.

We love your T. Yes we do.

I understand how precious such times are. It feels that you want to savour them forever.

Most people don't come to therapy because they have high-levels of self-confidence and unconditional positive regard from their parents.

Why should we find it easy to believe that this person who we sit across from once or twice per week values or validates us in such a way? Most of us don't even validate ourselves-- it is difficult and strange to receive someone else's validation.

I think if you read the original post:

Quote:

you will see that the answer to your question about why many people can't accept kindness is right there. For me, I said it was hard to accept the kindness because I'm not accustomed to it. I imagine this is true for many.

Sigh, but it's really good to experience now!
