I want to believe things get more contained. I asked today if He thought I should be doing better by now, should be able to not fall apart without so much contact. He said I'm exactly where I need to be and he has no expectations or time tables. He did say he wished I could hold things better because there were so many hours where I was suffering. I'm trying not to read into that statement too much. We also talked about the enormous amount of reassurance needed right now by "the girls." Even if the adult gets most of the session, they still want to ask at the end if he will be there tomorrow...he always says yes. (big sigh of relief.)
We talked about compassion fatigue today too. He said he isn't burnt out but it was highly likely that I would sense it before he was even close. He looked at me very seriously and asked, "do you smell anything burning?" I had to laugh.
