Because this thread is not a personal story about therapy, nor about therapy at all, I felt it was better suited to this forum, so I moved it here. Thank you. True NorthRead More...

My problem is that since I have a background in counseling (am one myself) I have always been trying to understand what he`s doing in our work- so I read, look at literature, etc. Sometimes, I think he`s clueless, but every once in a while, I see that he knows what he`s been doing all along. I want him to give me some credit for the fact that I am more tuned in to the process than most. It just burns me that he now apparently thinks I`m coming on to him or something and is pulling away. I...Read More...

hi elly, i'm glad your T is 'warm' and her being part of the 'object relations' school is great! it sounds like you have picked the best of psychoanalysis but like you say, its all about how you and your T fit. yeah, i try not to think about the money too much. i think of it as an investment which will pay off. puppetRead More...

You've been through such a rough time recently Muff, no wonder your days are mixed up and you're longing for it to be T day at so many levels. Kettle has just boiled btw xxRead More...

hi, Hollow i'm glad to see you back with an update on your session. good for you for writing down what you wanted to discuss. so many times i've had things that i needed to talk about, and didn't. over time it did help to bring in written words to help me get things out. so, it comes down to doing what feels most comfortable for you and getting your needs met. it sounds like he was very responsive in a good way, and i'm glad his presence was strong, we need that in our Ts. you're right ...Read More...

Hey Tas There is a book by Teyber and McClure that is on the interpersonal process in therapies and they talk a lot about therapists passing and failing tests, transference, countertransference and boundaries. You can see a bit of it in the preview window at google books Hugs xxRead More...

(((Hollow))) that might be scary thinking to some, but i'm right there with you! so no, if you feel safe enough to leave your post as is, then do so. it doesn't scare or offend me at all. i like what you said about it feeling more like being trapped and tormented rather than stubborn. i actually wish i could "feel" more while in therapy, but the truth is i seem to "process" more outside of therapy, and frankly that is hell! i want so bad to contact T, but it was usually more that a phone...Read More...

I can't right now, too many things stirring and just don't want to feel anything ...sorry if this sounds cryptic. I actually ended up staying home today under the covers. That's the only place we're feeling safe at the moment. I feel like I want to take a break from everything for awhile, while T is away. I can't handle all these feelings on my own while she's away. I just can't go there. I'm sorry. The KidRead More...

I was just talking about this with someone the other day.. I've drowned twice in my dreams. Both times I was aware that I was drowning and knew I was going to die.. It was really awful. I've also dreamt I've died in other ways, like I was shot once. One time I was already dead and I was in a coffin and could see my parents around my coffin but they didn't seem to notice or care that I was dead. That being said.. I've always woken up just at the point of dying. I've never gone to heaven in a...Read More...

Ta CD. I cant remember a session without at least one good laugh in it. I think it says 'I like you' more than anything else. No CM ice cream left until next shop day. Suffrin here.Read More...
