Daisy, I'm glad you're awake with me tonight. I'm in good company.
My old T said something to me once that stuck. He said, "Your emotions don't overwhelm me. *They just are*."
Maybe that is how your T thinks of your feelings. They just are.
Damage has been done. Pain has been inflicted on you by people who were supposed to take care of you. You can't change that. He can't change that. But he is here with you now, trying to prove to you that people who love you will not always hurt you.
Once I told my old T that probably no one would ever hear the things I told him. He said to me, "That's why it's such an honor".
I think your T is honored to share your pain. I think he is glad to be there with you instead of you being alone in it, completely.
I hope this helps. If not, then forgive me. I don't want to prentend I know what you're going through. Hugs to you, if that's okay.
