Feel free to use my reply if it is helpful. I'm glad it made sense. Not every therapist is willing to do this, I hope yours is. I think some of them are afraid that writing processes the emotions too much, that you aren't "in the moment" and really feeling the feelings. But I see it as a very personal thing to be sharing, something I've never done, with anyone, before.

It took me awhile to tell my therapist about Babble, I still don't use the name. But he's been impressed with what he calls the depth of thinking here. Occasionally he still has to remind me that HE didn't do some of the horrible things we've read about here and he goes nuts about the web sites that talk up watching out for over-dependant clients, vicarious traumatization and other things like that. My abandonment fears get triggered and he tells me not to do that to myself. I took in the long conversation that Tamar and I had about feelings for your therapist and gave him all of it. We were going to read it together, but it got pushed aside by other things. I think it was last Monday that he said that he had finally just read it on his own and he really wanted to talk about it when I was ready. He thought there were a number of interesting threads to follow up on. So -- writing can be a very useful tool, even if you can't make yourself read stuff.

I'd love to know how your discussion goes.
