Daisy,
I hope you can check your email while you are gone. I sent you my phone number. I wish I had seen your note about Open earlier in the evening the other night. Please do call if you want. I could use the company, too.

And I do think the pdoc inadvertently hit all the right "mother" buttons, just as your T said. I think that's why this is so upsetting. Please keep in mind that this is coming from HER. Your T is providing the corrective emotional experience. Thanks to your pdoc, you two just found more on your plate to correct. That is a real shame.

And that is also the danger for professionals working with trauma who do not know enough about the client or about the skills needed to do this work. I know I've had the discussion with my supervisor that I SO do not want to re-traumatize my clients with a trauma history. He is less concerned about that. So I equate him with your pdoc, as someone who just doesn't get it. Which means I need to find some other situation for the training I need, or I could wind up hurting someone like your pdoc hurt you. That's the last thing I want to do.

I do think it's ignorance on her part. Either that or it's sadistic, in which case you should run like hell.

But we are all still here for you. And so is your T. Come hell or high water. Or fog. :)
