Oh, I love this. Daisy, can we do all of your assignments with you?
I never felt completely safe with my old T, but it got safer and safer feeling over time. I was always too on edge about what we were going to talk about. I can't think of what he could have done to make it better. He was very kind and gentle. I think it was just me.
But . . . I feel safer in my new T's office. Maybe it's just her style. Also, I like her chairs better. And she calls me sweetie :) No, honestly, I think it's because now I've done therapy before, and I have a better idea what it's all about. So I'm more comfortable with the process.
I think my safe place (the attic room with books) feels safe because no one is asking anything from me, but they're nearby if I need them. Also, it's a place where it's OK to go inside myself and have my own personal experience, and not have to answer to anyone for it.
