I've been in flashback mode all week, had a huge rupture with T. The thing is I now feel as if my relationship with T has been "ruined" some how, that how I felt she felt about me has changed becaues of this rupture. Do you think ruptures can ruin a theraputic relationship? Or perhaps this is just more transference?

Hi and welcome, I'm not sure we've met.

Ruptures are so hard and I'm sorry that you are finding yourself in the midst of one. I think it all depends on both parties willingness to work out whatever caused the rupture. In my experience, while ruptures have been very hard they have also been opportunities for great growth with my T. There is no reason that it needs to ruin the relationship if you and your T can talk through it and work it out.

Please keep us updated as you feel safe doing.
Hello Freud’s Fly I’m really sorry you’ve been having a hellish week with flashbacks. Without knowing what the rupture is about, can I say that the best thing you can do at this point is to try and talk to your T about it? From what I’ve read here, ruptures (or rather, mending them) is one of the most therapeutic things you can do.

Do you feel up to talking about what’s been happening? Sometimes it can help putting your feelings and thoughts to others so that it stops being such a circular overwhelming thing inside your own head.

Hugs to you FFOTW

Hi, Freud- glad to see your post...I'm sorry to hear you had painful rupture with your T...based on what you say, yeah, I think talking about it with your T is the best way.

But, having never really found the courage to do that myself at least not in person, I know how extremely scary that can be!

anyways, welcome here! Post more if you feel comfortable- these are great people!
