... My heart is hurting instead as I try to ‘understand’ how my feelings are so wrapped up in this therapy.
I'm dealing with this too.
>> What do you do when it hurts this much? When my next appointment is 8 days away and that feels like a year?
Exactly!When therapy is too distracting and seeming unhealthy? How do I call my T and say I just can’t do this anymore? How do I let go? Will this stop hurting?
Don't quit with your therapy. I think you are right on the verge of some serious growth. I do the same as you ... seems unhealthy and its distracting...
> Sorry for all the questions. I guess I should have been asking these during my session today instead of stumbling over irrelevant stuff. I wish I could tell her how much I hurt right now.
>I do that too! You know what you need to do, you just said it -- tell her how muck you hurt right now -- well wait til daytime, but call her and tell her, so that you will work on it next session and not "stumble over irrelevant stuff"
Yes, I need to take my own advice. I am really tired of going to therapy, being afraid to be really open about how I feel about my T, and leaving and counting down the days til I see him again. I worry that he will reject me, or even if he doesn't I'll receive it as rejection. I fight these feeling that I cant talk to him because he will be bored or disgusted or irritated or ....
thanks for your post and good luck!
