Oh, Aphrodite... you doc wants nothing better than for you to go back to see him.
DOes he judge you?
I don't know why we feel shame when the person we have exposed ourselves to is not judging.You are making the shame. You are slamming the door yourself. What if you went back, what if you healed hugely because you were able to go back and say, hey, sometimes I lose it. What if?
THis is silly, but when I read your note, and the last one, too, I want something for you. I want you to have the same warm safety I have sometimes felt with my T, when I've said or done something about whcih I am unhappy, and he understands, and accepts me anyway. That feeling has healed me in some ways I never thought I could be healed. My moments of self-loathing are far, far fewer. And I can see him and feel ... cared about, no matter who I am. Imagine that! It's ok to be me.
