VERY cool post Lucie :-) Well said. You are good at putting things into words!
I resist attach. I kinda attach w/old T, but always there some fear somehow. I trust she won't....I dunno, but I guess I don't think she would purposely hurt me, but...hmmmm. I dunno, I just resist the idea of attach I guess because it keaves one vulnerable and I not got much use for that.
I really liked how you worded bout us taking care of our own selves.
Like Antingua, for me this is a LONG slow process that requiers MUCH repitition.
My T seems to think the brain can get rewired with time.
I read this on the net http://www.sandrawieland.com/Therapy2ndChance.pdf. It talks bout how the brain develops and then concludes that new pathways can be formed.
Also this too was interesting http://www.asca.org.au/childabuse/ca_traumaaffectsbrain.html
Also Lucie mentions tolerance of affect, ANOTHER good one! and another good metaphore, manoman Lucie, you got a gift!
LOL! Daisy made me laugh when she wanted to shout MANY MANY years!!!! That lecturer seems to know her stuff!
I think I need to ask my T bout attachment, cuz I dunno much bout that. LOL, I said bout how she makes a part of me feel a wee bit safer somehow, and she said bout how some parts may get attached to her and I CRINGED. We NOT attach with this T we not gonna be attach. Funny too cuz sometimes she does stuff and I KNOW she doing it cuz she figgering attach stuff, but I not attach. Nice that she does it cuz then mebbe she competatnt and that reassuring.I agree that it is heartening that Lucie has made progress and has shared it with us. One day I should do that too, cuz it IS heartening.
Lucie, you sure are smart.
