>>>he said that comparisons to other things were irrelevant the best of times, but in this case he felt what i went through was as bad as any other "version" of it.. he said "..in fact, it's worse because it's so much easier to dismiss it." Amen.
ahhh this is a wise T dory. he is SO right with this.
and i also wanted to tell you i understand about the pain of open wounds the way you described. cuz when i very first started seeing a T, its like by the last 10 min of session i would finally start to explore things, but then left with gaping wound that i didn't know how to close. and i did know how to tell T this. it felt like a band-aid was ripped off during session and it slowly healed through the week and then was ripped open again. at this point sessions actually made life worse. it was when i Finally started seeing other T that he said it was safest for me to see him twice a week (or more if needed) to get through it. i don't know if that is an option for you or not. but i know that emotionally i Never would have gotten as far in therapy as i did if i hadn't seen a T more than once a week. there was too much emotion bottled up.
you did good Dory!
