Have you ever told your therapist... (trigger)

Posted by DAisym on September 15, 2008, at 21:15:13

..."I hate you!" ???

I felt like a teenager -- "Go away! Please don't leave me!"

He told me that I had to remember, I had to know what happened way back when and I had to hold and honor the pain of my younger parts. And he said he had to know with me - that telling was the right thing to do so I'm not alone anymore. And then he looked me straight in the eye and said, "and you have to stay alive. I can't let you give up, as much as you want to kill off all this pain."

So I sobbed and told him I hated him for that. He said fine, he could take my anger. But he looked so sad.
That was last Thursday. We've talked everyday since. He hasn't pulled back at all. But I feel like a heel for saying it.

If you've said it, what did your therapist say or do? If you wanted to and didn't say it, did you say something else instead?

Have I ever said that I think Therapy is really hard work?
