I had no idea that you lost your home. My God, how awful. I'm so sorry for that. I must have missed that detail over the summer when I was away for most of August.
quote:If client and therapist share the same wounds and the T has not resolved their stuff it does get in the way of their objectivity. Instead of keeping one foot in your world and one foot in theirs they end up enmeshed or in some reenactment of their or your past.
This makes a lot of sense. I guess this is why a lot of therapists have their own Ts.
I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering flashbacks. They sound horrible. But I am glad to hear that your current T seems solid and responsive and very experienced with trauma stuff.
I've never had a flashback, so I know nothing about that experience. I hope you don't mind me asking, but does it feel like a part of you is bringing them into consciousness in an effort to heal it (your) self? I hope you are able to purge - or at least defuse that awful material and get free of it.
I am hanging in there. I don't know if this is my root issue or not, but it's becoming clearer that any kind of real emotional closeness or intimacy activates the wretchedness in my head, as if my very existence is in peril.
