> Aphrodite, I am so touched by your T's offer. I know it would probably be difficult but I really think that it might be incredibly healing. I know that isolation was a theme in my childhood and my work with my T, and to know that I wasn't alone with my memories anymore was very healing. When I think of those things, I think of him too, and how comforting he was. I would encouage you to take as much time as you need, but to do it. I have a feeling that maybe you might reach a whole new level of trust and intimacy with your T.

Ooops, I think in another thread I referred to your T as a female. Or did you have a male before the female? As you can see, I'm easily baffled.Anyway, as you obviously understand, it hurts so much to be alone in all those memories, and the healing comes when he can break that isolation, but it doesn't really last for me, and old doubts and fears return -- then, I am alone all over again.
I guess actually walking with him across the field would be a whole other experience, to speak to a caring person from that place. Or, I could have a psychotic break. But, if I am going to have one, I guess it would be good to have a professional with me.
I'm glad your fond memories of your T's help linger for you.
