I realized over the weekend, some of the digging up and reprocessing has been really helpful.
Especially when it comes to very emotional issues like how you perceive someone as attractive or not etc. It helps to understand what motivates you.
I had a pattern of being attracted to men who are like an authority figure and who is unavailable to me - a pattern that I developed in response to my relation with my father according to my new T. It immensely helped to reprocess what I went thorugh as a child to understand it.
Susan - if you think you need to reprocess, then go for it.. you know what is best for you. I didn't have to reprocess everything to learn differently, only a few things. But if you need to reprocess everything all over again, then talk to your new T.
