Yes, exactly. There doesn't seem to be any hurrying the really important things, like the deepening of trust, and the willingness to let go enough to really know about the different states. I'm just now feeling safe enough to really express the thoughts and feelings which rush through my mind, without having to stop so much because of fear or distrust. And I especially treasure the deepening relationship I am developing with my analyst. It's unlike any I've ever had with anyone. It's taken every bit of 20 months to become anywhere near a certainty that all the different parts of me can count on; I feel very confident that you will find the same thing happening in the coming year. I do hope you will let us know.
How interesting that your T. knows Allan Schore! From what you have said, he sounds as if he is probably using the right hemisphere connections between you and him in a similiar way. Mine does it, too. Although he doesn't know him, he has read him, and wants him to come and speak at our city's analytic institute. I think it will probably be a couple of years before he can get him!
