I needed to reread your thoughts over and over. Yes, I do believe safety and attachment are critical. And my therapist would agree as well. It's not that she is not addressing it, it's more like she is saying, well, I just can't put her thoughts into words tonight.
She said today that she wants to me remember and write it across my forehead, (quoting me/Annie) "It's easier to believe you do not like me that to believe you do." She wants me to remember that thought because it drives so many of my reactions/feelings to situations and people.
We talked about safety today in fact. I went to a yoga workshop and they "changed the rules". We had to sit in a circle instead of random places AND worse of all, we had to introduce ourselves and tell everyone a little about our "yoga" life (how long we have been practicing, what brought us to yoga, etc. etc.) I just about ran out of the studio. Instead, I layed down and choked down tears. My t talked about the similarities between my favorite yoga teacher trying to get to know me and the other students, that attention, and how uncomfortable that is for me ... just like therapy.
Anyway, we are making progress with baby steps and a few tumbles and bruises along the way.
