What a wonderful experience, Pfinstegg! I'm so glad you shared it. That's the sort of thing I was talking about in my post above. That primordial emotional response, the attunement in the relationship. And it only comes after lots of hard work and some emotional risk taking that I commend both you and my second favorite therapist for. :) The corrective emotional experience at its best.
I wish it were always like that. lol.
I remember you saying that rage was a large part of your transference reaction. I've not experienced that. Perhaps I'm still too afraid, not of him or abandonment, but of the strength of my own feelings. I still meet intense anger with dissociation. So you inspire me as one a few steps ahead of me on the path.
