Wow, Kara, I am so happy that you worked out what is best for you! Sounds very mature to me. :)
I have been with my therapist for the past year and half; the first six months I went once a week and the past year twice a week. It's been a tough ride at times, but ultimately the relationship is what is making me feel safe and able to build trust. He has been very kind, which is the one quality that touches me the most. He also is very sensitive, able to grasp what I say and tune into my emotions (of course not all the time, but who is perfect?) Overall, I will say that it is his willingness and ability to hold my growth and needs above his that makes it a space where I feel comfortable to work in.
I understand what you said about wanting to find out if there were things that you missed and want to look at. I tend to feel the same way, too. I am learning how to make it okay to allow myself a safe space to tackle unresolved issues. Sometimes we get there all the same, as long as we are committed. I applaud your sense of committment to your personal growth. :)
And I think you are right. There is something both sacred and scared about healing....isn't it?
