Dinah - I have to think about that. It's an interesting concept. I've been filtering and packaging since the first day I walked in her office. There's very little spontaneity - although I certainly now talk more freely about things that used to be unacceptable topics to me.
My T's current theory is that I started to slide last fall when my father died and I was bothered both by the fact that I had no emotional reaction at all to his parting, but also that I was just so unable to tap into the fonder and more loving feelings I had when I was a child. She's going back over all that territory again - trying to help me see why I didn't have much of a reaction, and trying to help me remember some of the good stuff. That just seems like a much more constructive approach than to have me sit there and talk about how awful I'm feeling.
