In reply to How do you let go in therapy?, posted by happyflower on August 16, 2006, at 20:30:50
Okay happyflower, can I just tell you from my own experience .. which has been long and painful and sometimes maybe you have to go through the same pain, but maybe you could be helped to avoid some of the length of trauma .. look for a female therapist who makes you feel comfortable. I have a personal coach, now, and I pay a lot of money for him. His assignment to me my first week was to call three female therapists and go with the first one that makes me comfortable and my astrologer friend (love that guylovethatcrazyguy he's weird as me ...) anyway, he adds that I should get their birthdates as well, he'll help me find a compatible match ... but I just have to DO it .. letting go of my dependency on my ex-T was the hardest thing I have EVER done, including giving birth to three incredible human beings. It just wasn't as difficult as birthing myself, so to speak ... god HF, I wish I could see you face to face and talk to you and help ... maybe a man IRL, like your professional friend who is gorgeous, something like that is likely the medicine you need. Plus hope for a glorious, loving future with anybody you choose, HF. Anybody.
