Oh, Daisy, that's very distressing to hear. I'm very glad you told us, because many of us have been following your therapeutic journey for a number of years, and had not heard too much recently, We all secretly, or not so secretly, looked to your therapist as a model of understanding, caring and steadfastness. It is very unexpected and upsetting to think that somehow there has been a rupture between the two of you which you have not yet been able to repair.
I once read somewhere that analyses or therapies where nothing goes wrong are also the ones where not much ever happens. The first three years with my present analyst were a long series of ruptures, only some of which got repaired. I guess there was a high enough percentage of repairs to allow things to go along well. It was the successful repairs which proved so helpful, although getting to them was full of stress and uncertainty. I do hope the same for you, and also hope you will post whenever you think we might be able to offer hope, understanding or encouragement.
