Wow. At 3am I will try to remember that. It is too bad sometimes we can't talk in real time. On the other hand, I'm on this machine enough!
Your words were wise and I will draw comfort from them. The part about IT MUST GET BETTER AT SOME POINT is dead on. I think I've said that about a million times.
But it took you 5 years? hmmm. Did you find that you started for one reason and ended up in a quagmire of many different ones? I know essentially everything is linked and I guess I'm glad I'm trying to figure it all out now, but it is pretty hard.
A word about my Therapist: (OK, a couple of words). I didn't know specifically what I was looking for when I started, because I came into this as a parent needing support for a child who had anxiety. I had a referral from a professional plus a couple from friends. But it never occured to me to check philosophical differences, or orientations. I just didn't want someone who was too touchy/feely or who would tell me to just cut down on my stress. So in many ways I feel like I have "lucked-out" because so far he has really been there for me. And then some. And, so far, I haven't gone over into the transference from hell category either. That isn't to say that it has been perfect, but I think he knows what he is doing and I trust him. And for me, that says a lot.
Thank you for your post. I hope you keep posting here.
