Actually, Dinah, it was a very terrifying hour for me, being in such potentially dangerous territory with him. While I was the one who brought things up (as usual), he was acting as a guide for me, saying, in effect, "it happened, to you and to me. It's not off-limits; we can talk about it." As we did, slowly, I got the message from him that it would be OK for me to be more like him about it- natural, accepting, calmer.
I wonder how many years of psychoanalysis it takes to be able to do that with ones' patients?
