Thanks, Daisy! Wouldn't it be fun to meet for a glass of wine (or a whatever) in the evening after one of our therapy hours and share these things- the things which I have never told anyone about, other than a bit, but not all, to my husband. I never dared to tell a friend, as I felt they all had loving, protective fathers, and would really look down on me if they knew how mine really was. Nor did I ever dare to tell my mother. Were you the same?

In any given week, with its four sessions, I seem to range from terror, hopelessness and shame to joy and confidence- then right back again! My T. is actually very pleased with how things are going, and I am too, as there are more and more good times as we work on these *parts* and try to get them working together more harmoniously, with each part learning to understand and empathize with other parts' feelings and views. Even with all its pain, therapy is such an amazing experience, isn't it? - I have never experienced being with another person who is so interested, attentive, caring and accepting about everything I say and feel. And in lighter moments, he is also playful and delightfully funny. Just the experience of being with another person like that is so powerful- it's impossible to really describe it, except to someone who's also experienced it, like you. Your T. sounds a lot like mine, especially with how extremely caring he is. I make sure that I keep a journal which includes, in addition to the hard stuff, all the wonderful things he has said, so that I'll never forget them!

whoops..getting late,

P.
