Therapy is so hard sometimes. Especially when you really care about you t and you're dealing with all of the emotional baggage that goes along with maternal transference.
>>What do you do when it hurts this much?<<
I find writing my feelings and thoughts down and shredding them to be helpful. I also write down stuff and take it in to my t to read. I also like to keep myself distracted with activities as much as possible when I go through these sorts of periods.
Is there something else going on in your life right now that could be causing you to want to pull away from therapy. The times that I've quit, I did so because other emotions and stuff were surfacing and I was trying to run. If that's the case you might want to stay with therapy. Have you talked to your t recently about any of these feelings?
Be well and stay safe.
Regards,
Kat
