In reply to T. Referred to My Younger Self?! (extrememly long), posted by 10derHeart on April 28, 2005, at 23:58:09
I’m not sure the concept of younger selves can be stolen, or that it belongs more to some people than others. I remember the first time my T talked about my younger self I thought it was very strange, as if he was talking about a different person. But then I figured I actually was a different person when I was a kid.
I think it is a good idea for you to keep an open mind about it and process it with him at your next session. It’s natural to worry about the possible implications of his view of you, of your history and of your illness, but in fact he might well not be thinking what you fear he’s thinking. And no, you definitely don’t sound foolish.
Sending you hugs!
