I'm glad you told him too. Sometimes silence from my therapist is fine. Other times, I need to know he is there and can pull me out of the black memories. I asked him once to not abandon me to the silence. So now he will ask questions or even just say "I'm right here. It is OK to be telling." That makes me feel much more secure.
And everytime - everytime - I talk about this stuff in detail. I hurt. And I worry that I've said too much, or too graphically or he hates it...or whatever. So we have a pattern - I tell, I cry, he reminds me this is what we are supposed to be doing, I cry some more, he talks and I tell again. Sigh.
I'm exhausted. But I'm so glad you've found someone safe to work with.
