In reply to help - feels like an impasse, posted by lucielu2 on August 5, 2011, at 5:10:45
Well, I've had two sessions now since my original post in this thread. Since the replies you all gave me were all so great, I had copied them and brought them to our sessions. My T was so very impressed with the thoughtfulness and wisdom in your posts. It made me very proud of Babble! Unlike my recent "uh..." sessions, these sessions were very lively, lots of talking on both sides and much to think about. The time went by so quickly and we covered so much ground. So the impasse in therapy was worked through. Even my relationship with my daughter shows signs of breaking through at least some of the impasse there. It really is true that therapy and life tend to resemble one another.
Today was the last session before his three-week vacation. We will not meet again until after my daughter goes off to school. It helped so much to have had such productive sessions right up to his departure. Now I feel like I really have some handle on the situation and my emotional responses and can deal with the rest of this month better than before. We will have lots to talk about when he returns.
The strategy of bringing Babble posts to sessions has been valuable. Thank you all so much for offering me comfort and sharing your thoughts.
Lucie
