In reply to still around... saw old T today, posted by wishingstar on June 27, 2006, at 20:08:38
I was thinking about you so I was happy to see that you posted.
I agree with the others. Just staying at your parents' home can bring up so much turmoil (at least for me) that living there is hard enough besides the long break from your "regular" T. It does sound as if your former T connected with you today. Sometimes time apart can bring each person a fresh perspective on the other. Personal example, I've been in therapy for 2 1/2 years with the same T. I went away last May and when I returned my T was laughing/smiling, "Whoosh, I forgot how much energy you bring into the room."
Sharing your secret with this T was brave and important. You need to let her know all of you and this is one of your coping mechanisms that I assume you would like to do less of. I hope you can find time for a second appointment if things get really bad.
How are the children? Are there some familiar faces?
