gg,
You really are in the middle of it, aren't you?
You are so aware, coming at yourself from a place of knowledge of the psyche, and the tender ignorance of self of the analysand. That must be the hardest of all, and I think of this every time I read posts from those of us here who have that knowledge. I second guess myself all the time, with very little of that knowledge. I can imagine what it's like for you.
I love it when my T is "concerned" about me. I feel cared about, and there is safety in that. It means that someone is looking out for me, someone is hearing me, and in that concern I am somehow safe. And when I am in that precarious place of opening cans of worms, I need *some* sense of safety.
Are you the middle child? You make me think of my sister. I was hospitalized when I was 16, and she kept it together.
