I think the most remarkable thing about this time in your therapy is your ability to hang in there and keep plugging away even when things are chaotic and confusing. I think it shows that you do have an enormous amount of trust and connection with him even though sometimes events cause it to go a little dormant. And his connection to you that he mentioned shows that you have opened up enough to him that he knows how to soothe little Daisy without making big Daisy retreat into old ways of coping.
I'm glad the two of you have a strong enough relationship to weather these times. You are gaining a lot of insight by "staying" with those feelings instead of beating them down. Thanks for sharing the story, complete with its happy ending of feeling better for now. I hope it lasts for you -- you deserve it.
