In reply to Has your T said the L word about you?, posted by lucie lu on July 2, 2008, at 19:14:44
no, that word has never been used
and I'm not sure that he has ever *directly* said to me that he cares about me (maybe he has), but the message has come across just the same
I mean what he has said is that he has a choice to do therapy with me, and so in my head that means that he puts up with me because he wants to
but he's "said" it in a whole bunch of other waysand so I do know he cares
which really blows my mindit's gotten easier over time to really hold on to that...there have been lots of times when I was sure that I was the most objectionable thing in the world, and those were the times that I really needed some clue that he didn't feel that way
but still there are times when out of sight feels like out of existence, and like all of that can just go "poof" and disappear, and there are times still that I fear he has a secret and intense hatred for me
I have a deep respect and affection for my T. I know I can have the relationships I do because of him. I know I have been able to function so much more because of therapy.
this is a big subject....
let the T vacations begin!! ;-)
