Hard work, but good work too gg!!
I think you guys are back on course. I am so happy that it seems you are over the hump AND can start 2x per week sessions. I really like going more often.
I know exactly what you mean about flinching and wanting soothing at the same time. This is EXACTLY what my T and I are working on too!! Those exact words as well ... how weird is that? I see it re: sex as well ... wanting it and not ... all at the same time.
Over on the relationship board, I mentioned how my T said that going to therapy was like being touched. That is dead on right. But I can't get my brain wrapped around this concept on how it fits. She told me yesterday that it fits perfectly and explained how and go figure, I can't remember any of her explanation ... what does that mean?
I also had a similar experience last summer. My son and I were involved in a car accident. After leaving him in ICU, I kept my therapy appointment and sobbed and sobbed. I had my hands over my face, wrenching with pain. I heard her move in her chair (she probably felt so uncomfortable or saddness for me) and I quickly stopped crying, afraid she was going to come over to hug me (but knowing at the same time, she never would touch me).
I'll say it again, the therapy relationship is so intense, strange, wonderful, healing
