I'm silly, talkative, ask a lot of questions - giddy actually.


This is the type that happens to me. I get REALLY playful with my T, like a kid playing with their dad. Also, I think my needing to sit on the floor might be related. Because, I still want to sit there even if T won't sit with me. Kind of like being in preschool or Kindergarten feeling, sitting on the floor and looking up at your teacher. I had a lot of good teachers and they were pretty much the most trustworthy adults in my life, so my kiddo can really relate to the image of sitting on the floor and looking up. Lately, I've also been wanting to play catch with T. Roll Eyes It can be pretty embarrassing, but T always praises me as if I were a kid when I get all playful with him, saying stuff like I'm being "sweet" or "cute," so at least HE's accepting of it, even if I'm not quite there yet.
I totally get this LG. I have spent the last month and a half curled up in a ball on the comfy chair in my Ts office. I do know that I'm sinking into it like a kid (it's an oversized chair - I'm rather petite, so I look like a kid in the chair) and curling up wrapping my arms around my knees and twirling my hair.

This past session, actually, I even started talking back to my T in that snotty tone I used to use when I was fed up with my parents. She laughed, but I totally felt like I was 13 again.

Guess it's good to be accessing this part of ourselves in the safe space of the therapy room?
