> I told her about something traumatic that happened when I was a teenager. I was such a therapy virgin then.. totally disconnected from my feelings. I can't remember how it came up, but I was probably testing her. I had told this story to nobody except my ex-husband, who told me it was stupid that I was still thinking about it. And here she actually CRIED when hearing it. I was so hooked. I really needed some TLC.

>yeah, see, that sounds so therapeutic. that's how it is when my t cries for me (when i can't, or even when i do). it makes me feel validated and cared for. like my problems really matter. and not just to me. and it shows me how to feel my own feelings, too.
