Or wrestled to the ground in a headlock
<<Again with the wrestling? What is that? The image is back in my head, only this time with a noogie (is that the correct spelling for that??).He's probably buying your act of nonchalance. You need to be more open with him, because if he's anything like mine he's really dense and needs it spelled out
<<The thing is, he knows that I hide behind my act of appearances. If I pretend everything is OK, then it is. I've talked with him before and even asked several times during conversation if I still have anxiety to which he nods his head yes. He knows that I am going through a rough time. He knew when I had my first flashback I was suffering dearly, and he didn't offer any extra support. Maybe I'll try the headlock thing. I've asked him about inappropriate behavior before to which he replied, "If you sit on my lap and pat my head, that would be inappropriate." He didn'ta say anything about a headlock!
I just DESPISE being needy and clingy and the sort. I hate admitting that I need help. That I can't handle something on my own.
And I'm afraid that he'll get tired of me. Also, I don't know if I'm progressing far enough to warrant extra sessions. If I was, wouldn't HE suggest it? He's the expert, I'm not.The pacifier works for me. Sometimes I have to stick the whole blasted thing in my mouth, but it does the trick. I've grown quite accustomed to it however. I've been using it for over a year. Since my dentist noticed my teeth were grinding down. :( And, i do on occassion suck my thumb too. Mostly at night though. It really is horrible when my nieces try to take my nook as their own adn I fight with them. I feel evil, but hey, they can get their own!
