GG - WOW, it must of taken you a great deal of time to respond to each and every one of us.
Thank you. Yes, I do lie on a couch. Trust me, it took a great deal of courage, and a giant leap of faith. When I saw this T 20 years ago,
I refused to try and eventually quit. When I began seeing her this year (how cool was that after all that time had past ... and I'm 42 now, she probably 50) she didn't want to ask me. Then one session she said, "I don't know how to bring this up because you reacted so strongly years ago, but I think you would really benefit from free associating and lying down. Just think about it." Then months later, I did. I do sit up every once in awhile, but do find a stronger connection to her while lying down.
I can't explain it. So even though at times I hate it, I do like that it's so hard for me and it pushes me further down the path.
So when you wrote to someone above about it being odd that you liked it was so hard (or something to that affect) I do know what you are saying. I may get mad in sessions when I'm pushed, but after I'm over it, I'm happy to have gone to that point.
