You're right, Daisy. I think I probably learned a lot from this crisis, and I think I exaggerated when I suggested it was completely gone. I do remember the feeling, I'm just not wallowing in it right now (and that's probably a good thing).Also, I bet the next time, it won't hurt as much. Or maybe there won't have to be another time. :(
I think I am working really hard on this stuff right now in therapy, these past few weeks, and boy, crises sure do help to fuel and inform therapy, don't they? I think I was feeling like we were stagnating just before this--no more.
Today's session was very good, and surprisingly emotional for me. My feelings are back near the surface, and there wasn't really a forcefield this time. I was completely present emotionally from start to finish.

We begin to recognize what the trigger was and how it made us feel. And even if we can't yet get out of our own way, awareness is a huge step in the right direction.
