Yes, it "scared the bejes*s out of me", too. I see him again tomorrow. I am trying, trying, trying to get to a point where I'll be able to talk with out the metaphors by then.
We've actually talked concretely about this before. I'm not quite sure why I have to hide so much right now. I'm trying to remember that therapy is this way - up and down, open and hiding, - and trying to have myself push in the direction I want to go, but remember that I have to "ride" the waves. Sort of like driving in snow - you can try to aim the car, but if you try too hard you get out of control, the best strategy is to let the car do what it has to do, and nudge it in the right direction.
Love those metaphors.
