In reply to My therapist's message for Nine, posted by DAisym on November 8, 2008, at 20:00:02
I completely understand and wholly appreciate how those words would upset Nine. It certainly isn't anything she is used to hearing. But they are true and good and safe. I think she needs to hear those words over an over again. It's really Okay. Are you testing him? Yeah, probably, but if the past is indication - he'll pass with flying colors.
It's also something that I think you need to hear a lot too while you are coming into knowing.
You can handle what Nine may have to say, and even if you can't at the present, I'm sure your therapist can.I've done that in the past, just leave it all with my therapist and let him hold it while I live my life. Little by little he'll hand it back to me. They are great keepers of secrets and pain.
He told me once with such authority that "I'm not afraid of it", all I could think of was Gandalf at the pass saying "you shall not pass".
It's safe. I'm sure of it.
Seldom.
