No, he doesn't really pin feelings down by ages. He's really interested in feeling-states which are cut-off from the adult me.The two biggest ones are the terror of abandonment (nothing new there for any of us!) and terror over abuse. Now, even leaving a session is very hard- a cause for immense sadness. A year ago, I sailed through those! And a year ago, I told what I could remember of the abuse in a rather detached manner. Now, I erupt into massive amounts of terror, rage and shame- often directed at HIM. We almost reach a pre-verbal level of feeling, which is why he has asked me if I would like to add on art therapy for a while- it really seems like a good idea, so I'm going to give it a try next week.
I guess I'm so regressed and non-verbal right now that I am not posting in my usual rather lengthy manner! I'm reading faithfully, though, and do really care about what is happening with everyone- you, especially, because I know a lot of very painful things are happening to your parents and in-laws.
