> I told my therapist today that little daisy was having a tantrum. She wants to be his only client, to feel close and connected all the time. She doesn't want to wait hours to reach him on the phone nor days between sessions. She doesn't care if this is practical, realistic or even healthy. She just wants what she wants...and she wants it NOW!
I am so proud of you Daisy for having the courage to be so open with your T and letting little Daisy have her tantrum. I think that often people only focus on the hurt, vulnerable, sweet, dependant, etc inner child. But that's only one part of your inner child. Of course there will be some days when she is crabby or angry or rude or bratty. I think that for you to be able to acknowledge that side of little Daisy is a big step forward.And no matter how ashamed/embarrased/humiliated/whatever it may make you feel, remember that your T must know this. And I'm sure he wouldn't just want to accept the sweet or dependent or whatever side of little Daisy. He wants to know all of her.
>I said there was sort of a desperate quality about all of this...it feels like something is about the end when I'm not ready or someone is leaving no matter what I do to stop them. I feel sad and inconsolable...like someone died.Also, I'm not sure how your husband has been lately. Is there anything happening with him that could be related to the above? Sorry if I've upset you.
Be nice to yourself.
