ya my T knows when she can talk about things and when she shouldn't.
and it actually was something we needed to talk about. because of the representation and how this woman viewed what she was doing, and how that DIRECTLY coorelates to me and my views.
i'm actually glad she did, in a sense discussing this i feel we really made a big step forward in our relationship. knowing now that i feel a little more free to discuss things with her. i now know she will understand things.and ya you have a point (good 2 cents!)
she IS good at talking about hard issues. i guess i've just formed my trust for her around abuse issues and never got into the depressive issues with her like i did with my old T. (and i do miss him for that reason).
But that's why i'm glad that we talked about this. because it showed me some trust on her end about this issue. and showed that she has a mind for that. that she can understand things.
i think a lot of T's are scared of people like me who can view suicide as something OTHER than just "killing yourself".i just want to mention about that, that the conversation started because of a movie segment i saw. old black and white, a guy just got out of an institution and was talking with his brother about his suicidality and said, "i think i'll always be a little in love with death"
and i see that in myself, mostly because sometimes in my deep depression i view it as something other than, just sadness.
thus my risk... so see it needed to be discussed. and i dont regret it at ALL. i'm Very glad we discussed it.and now just typing my response to you i realized that maybe the reason the discussion/visual is stuck in my mind is because i'm ready to talk more about this stuff to T. and Need to.
thank you
