Our therapists can never turn back time, but I do believe (even though right now I am in a contrary state) that we can work through this hurt, emptiness, label it whatever ... with our therapists. I don't want her to be my mother. Heck, I don't even want my mother to be my mother!! But I do want and hope that by talking about this pain again and again, putting words to the feelings (this is what is so hard for me right now) that eventually, my therapist and I will diminish the effects my past haunts me.
My T told me today,"You have put me in a catch 22. You're hoping I'll react as a friend, but then I can't be your therapist." And I really need her to be my therapist forever and ever! (i.e. even when I quit, she will always be my therapist ... so I can reach out when my next crisis arrives).
