Do any of you do talk about dreams with your T?
I just started. And it just so happened that the first one that I wanted to discuss was about the two of us. I was soooo nervous about talking about it. It was a great dream, too. It's a new area of discussion for us. Her interpretation was neat. She works from a psychodynamic framework, so dreams are a huge part of that. I'm surprised I haven't brought it up before.
The experience was anxiety-provoking, I was shaking while I entered her office. The first thing I said was, "I'm nervous Dr.______." She looked at me with sincere concern and asked why I was nervous. The previous session I gave a door knob confession that I had this dream about her. It was a good experience, and a necessary one to further our relationship.
Curious about your guys' experience? Do you like/dislike dream work? How did it effect your relationship, if at all?
