I think your therapist is just wonderful! Of all the Ts we write about, yours seems to have the greatest capacity for empathy and caring- and for staying with you, always, no matter what. It would be natural to be fearful that you are hurting or irritating him, but it's so evident that you aren't. He seems to take a lot of joy in his work, and to be able to help all of your ego states be there with him, with all of their pain and rage so wonderfully accepted and contained by him. How wonderful that there are tears is HIS eyes, too. It takes such a long time, but it is all going to be healing for you. I just know it!
I chose my horse, and felt so pathetic. But she said that people choose stuffed animals, paintings, etc- that it's important to choose what comes right to mind, rather than mulling over what the "best choice" should be. I do like the exercises of noticing how my body calms down. It is apparently important to notice what is happening in all of us- not just our heads or hearts.
