Boy did that sound like psychobabble or what??!!!!!<br />Still working with L on this relationship/connection/trust-crap. Was able to tell her some more tough stuff today, although I wish I felt better about it.<br />I wanted to write all week long, I've stopped and started, but nothing coherent was able to come out. Maybe I'll write about today's session.<br /><br />Please know that I don't always respond to your posts, but I'm always reading them!NormalWasNotMyGoalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687479883199918652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1946316417074826415.post-43482833132185447002014-01-19T00:12:12.794-05:002014-01-19T00:12:12.794-05:00I've been here, reading, and following along. ...I've been here, reading, and following along. And I must admit to you that for a bit, I became incredibly jealous. It may or may not have lasted for a handful of days, hence the lack of comments ;)<br /><br />It was definitely my own thing ... and very much, "she gets to keep her therapist. why can't I keep mine?" And yes, I know I am making this choice on my own ... but this is neither here nor there!<br /><br />Trust is hard, especially when it's been broken early on in our lives. Perhaps you can chat with L about ways to practice trusting her. Ask her what would help you two form a connection in that way.<br /><br />You're not alone on this path, and I struggled in trusting Daisy when I returned a few years ago - and we went back and forth so much. And one day, it all became okay. It was when I was able to tell her how badly she hurt me, which was in part, explaining how badly my mother hurt me. (The post is here: http://therapyaddict.blogspot.com/2011/09/overwhelmingly-unsure.html)<br /><br />I hate that you're in this spot, but I know it's necessary for you to be here. Have you two spoken since?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05166689236909570817noreply@blogger.com
