Well that right there says quite a bit.
I guess as you say, it takes two. I told my husband I can stay home and get counter transference for free. He
laughed. He likes that sort of humor. Thank goodness.I can think of seeing this new therapist as another opportunity to have a real conversation rather than give into only the apprehension I feel about dragging the old stuff with me. I did learn skills and a new sense of strength. Even if it was by dissension and ultimately saying no to someone else's perceptions of me. It's not denial, as I was repeatedly told as I resisted. It was self-discovery and affirmation. It took awhile to parse out, denial and simply not agreeing. It'll be on-going.....
I dig a pony.
