Hiya Dory - BIG smile on face :)
I'm so pleased you had a good session yesterday (GRRR for time-difference, I always miss the boat). I love warm feel-good sessions, and I believe it's exactly what you needed.
Your post is so positive - even the things that are so hard for you, it seems you are beginning to open up about.
"he didn't understand what i meant yet" - that 'yet' is all important. And you have all the time in the world to work on this AT YOUR PACE.
It is the most awfully difficult thing to accept that you were abused as a child - it's just such a difficult thing (I really can relate to this) - I hope the much-needed validation from you T will help you with this. I know how much of a relief it was for me when my T validated my childhood experiences in this way.
I know you have a hard week and a half ahead. Please hold onto this session - it's good you have written it down, so now you can return to it. And of course we're here to support you however we can. I don't know what awaits you this weekend but I hope you manage to divert it and struggle through with the energy I know you possess.
I ended a mail to my T this week with 'Best wishes, Witti, the Interminable Worrier' - and he began his reply with "Happily you are a warrior too with endurance...".
I think you also deserve Warrior status :)
((((Warrior-Dory))))
