Interesting thought, lucie. I experienced that too. I was really glad to be finished, adn proud of myself. But also, the whole experience of finishing was very unsettling. I was in a field that tends to be male-dominated and (therefore?) confrontational, so the whole defense and process of revising my dissertation seemed unnecesarily grueling and unsupportive. What's a stronger word that unsupportive? It felt like being hazed. So, then I went through a long period in which I was also quite depressed. Come to think of it, it wasn't long after that that I finally got myself into good long term therapy.

Does this fit at all, Daisy?

If not, then I think it sounds very feasible that this could be part of the aftermath of the incident in therapy where you freaked out when he touched on that ultra-sensitive spot. It sounds like maybe you are not wanting to share what that issue was. And yet, I want to say that if it would be helpful, then you have friends here who would like to listen and offer support. I mean . . . of course, I want to offer support regardless of whether you need anyone to listen.
