> I think you have gotten some great advice here, and are really fortunate in having a supportive therapist right now. From personal experience (and much different circumstances then yours, but still the same feelings), my therp let me vent and then had meetings set up with the ex-shrink and a facilitator to help me work through some of my feelings. I couldn't agree more with Shelli's suggestion that this isn't an isolated incident, that it may be stirring up some past issues and that is why it is so difficult. Let's see, it's been 18 months! for me, yet I read your post and cried. So, work with your therp and don't put a time limit on 'stopping' your feelings, but understanding and validating them will go a long way in allowing you to handle these encounters. I really wish you well- judy
> P.S. I used my share of xanax during some of those meetings with the ex-shrink
I am very grateful for all the kind and helpful responses I have received. ShelliR, I think you are very close in your guess, and I'm going to talk about this (and the other helpful suggestions I received) with my therapist. I saw Dr. C for a half hour today, and we know what we're going to be talking about at my regular session on Wednesday. Thank you everyone.
