In reply to How do you let go in therapy?, posted by happyflower on August 16, 2006, at 20:30:50
Well, as I told you, I broke down completely twice in therapy, although once was over the phone. Complete hysterics. Sobbing, hiccuping, I really think my therapist thought I was going to hurl.
As almost sad as it is to say, it won't make you lose your mind, and you really won't cry forever. I guess our bodies don't allow it. Because if it was ever going to happen to anyone, it would have happened to me those two times.
Eventually the sobs give way to gasps, and the gasps give way to sleep.
It would have seemed far more just had I never stopped crying, or if I had gone mad. But the truth is far more mundane.
I like the way you put that. That he has helped you as much as you've let him. It gives hope that you can let him help you more. That things can get better.
