Yes, I do feel a real change now, but I have been going to this analyst for 18 months, and I think you re just starting with your new therapist, aren't you? It sounds like all the important things are in place - you really like her, you are able to express the most distressing and painful things to her in your sessions, and you feel heard and understood enough to feel better when you leave.
If you're like me, you will probably go on doing these things hundreds of times over- until they start fading into the background. I do have a therapist now whom I really trust and like, and, as my experience of my parents becomes less important, my experience of him becomes more important, as does my experience of other newer, healthier relationships.
