Sorry, Daisy, I don't mean to hijack your thread..
Orchid, your comments to Daisy were very interesting. It makes me wonder what you must think of me? I've been slogging through this for 14 years in psychodynamic therapy with the same T. It has been very painful, but I've learned so much about myself and I have a wonderful life because of it, for her help in helping me to understand where my reactions and pain are coming from.
But we are still working our way to the core. I know I'm closer but still not there, but that doesn't negate all the years of effort I've put into this. In a way, you sound a lot like my husband in his inability to understand/believe that I have to do this so the rest of my life will be better. And I don't care if it's one day, one week, or just a month, but if I can resolve this, I will have a whole me. I don't think I can explain it to you. Your comments seem to have a "just get over it" sort of mentality, like my husband's, which shows a sincere lack of understanding, not because you don't want to understand, but that you are incapable of understanding the feelings associated. Please don't misunderstand -- thank god there is that lack of understanding. I wouldn't wish one second of this on another person.
I haven't meant to offend you at all, so I hope you don't take it that way.
best,
antigua
