Thanks for re-appearing. I was really worried about you. I've had problems with si in the past. Now I'll go for ages without it, then suddenly one day, WHAM, I need it need it need it now.
At the moment, when I'm quite rational, I can see that it only brings immediate short term relief. It doesn't really make anything better. Just kind of shoves the problems and feelings away for a while. But I can't see that when I'm at the need it stage. I just need it.
It helped a lot when my T made me show him my si afterwards. And not just show it briefly, but keep it on display for the whole session. Ack ack ack. I find that a great deterrent knowing that he'll demand that again. Do you do that with your T?
> I spoke to my therapist yesterday about my Daddy, but there's really nothing he can do. He's kind of in a hard position, I suppose, and really has to stay neutral for the sake of our future relationship. It just made me feel more starkly alone in this to call him.
But by the same token, you really need some help in deciding these things. If your T won't/can't help, is there some sort of other person you can talk it over with? Like maybe not a T as such, but a councellor or something? I'm sure the hospice place or a hospital or something has some councellors that help with these sort of decisions. I'd say they still wouldn't tell you want to do, but they might have a different take on it if they deal with these sort of problems all the time.Sorry I can't help you more myself. I'm not real good at people stuff.
