I want to thank you for posting your experiences as well. Wow, you are really doing deep, hard work. I'm thinking someday I might try analysis, too, assuming I can afford it. Although there is a Psychoanalytic Institute here, so I might be able to great a price break from a trainee.
Anyway, I wanted to say that some of what you wrote really ressonated with me. That intense well of pain...it's hard to believe sometimes that there can be so much pain there when you appear to others to be high functioning and having it all together.
I know now I grew up in an environment of emotional neglect. My parents has their own stuff going on and were very focused on their own lives. Being highly sensitive, I think this void affected me greatly. Such that during my therapy over the last year, I have regressed. It's been poignant, and at times fun. But hard to talk to others about. They think I'm weird for wanting to jump in the fall leaves just to hear the sounds of the crunch and smell the smells.
So thank you for sharing yourself with us. I wish you continued good work in your analysis.
Take care,
gg
