In reply to ripping of the bandage, posted by shortelise on September 4, 2004, at 20:24:38
Just suggesting that it was an alternative. Not one I'd use.
When I was little, I had a big accident and had stitches and a bandage that needed to be changed so that my parents could clean the wound and put on a salve that would help prevent scarring. My dad was a rip the bandage off believer, my mom was a bit by bit believer. And I would run screaming from one to the other to the far end of the room and back, never able to decide how I wanted it done. Half the time they gave up, and I ended up with quite a scar. I haven't changed all that much. :)
If it's causing you this much distress, are you sure you're ready? At some level, you're fighting termination quite strongly. What are your therapist's thoughts on long term therapy, even if it's less frequent than it is now for you, or verrrrry slow termination?
