You have this way of getting right down deep into the heart when you write these posts of of your therapy experience. It's difficult for me to describe, but I feel deeply touched.
Daisy:
"...When we talked about this yesterday, he said he felt something really important had shifted and it wasn't just in the content of our discussion. I told him what I felt, like being in a safe bubble and he said he felt that too. I described it as psychically (is that a word?) merging - never touching and yet being in each other's space in a way that made me not alone. I wasn't just seen by him - I was felt. Meaning he could sense my feelings, my questions and my fears and he was OK with them. He said it was a "moment" of perfect attunement. They don't happen very often and you can't force them. But in this profound connection that we made, there is healing..."These are the incredible moments that happen in t that I think is difficult, maybe impossible for others who haven't been in therapy or maybe just haven't connected so deeply, to understand.
These times are what makes t all worth it, and they are, I agree, the best that therapy has to offer.
My T sees these times as deep spiritual bonding. He sees the whole therapy relationship as a spiritual relationship. All I know is that when I have that feeling, I can't really think of ANYTHING better. These are the moments that last for eternity, and I can't say that about any other kind of connection, physical or otherwise, no matter how good it feels at the time.
I am very glad for you that you were able to learn and see so much about your relationships and yourself from that session.
Thanks so much for sharing it.
On another note, have you ever considered writing a book about your experiences? I know that these are your private moments and there are probably many reasons why you wouldn't want to. But, I honestly believe that you would produce a wonderful work that could help others, immensely. .... just a thought....
