In reply to therapy, yoga and t's comments ...., posted by annierose on September 29, 2006, at 16:50:14
I can so relate to what you've shared...
I'm glad that your yoga teacher was there for you.
Did your T say it's impossible to get a hug from her?I also ache for human safe touch...I'm doing some physical T now apart from my regular T, and this T has reached out to me physically and I've been able to cry the tears I can't cry in T..I don't know..I feel as a little girl that needs safe touch..that kind of comfort..like a mother would. Your post touches me because just today I saw my physical T and I was holding back tears..and she reached out to me and held me hand and stroke my hair and said "those ghosts are back now?" .. and that comment just made my eyes fill with tears.I'm glad I have her now in my life because I do have such intense, painful longing to be comforted as a little girl.
I don't know if my T would reach out to me that way. Sometimes I wish she would, because the tears come instantly , and right now I can't cry in T needing it so badly. She has held me sometimes...not often but she has and it's made all the difference in the world.
We who haven't had safe touch as children, really do need it and crave for it. It's such a painful feeling.
I'm glad your yoga teacher reached out to you, but I hope you can feel more comfort from your T.
They do care, I know...
I've tested my T so much..and I do believe her now that she does care. I've made her say it..I need to hear her say it and fortunately she has said that she does love me and care about me.Anyway, I'm rambling, what I meant to say is that I can so relate to what you're sharing and I hope you can feel more warmth and caring from your T...
take care
