I'm being pushed into therapy, again.
Today I was in a counsellor's office, we were talking about my children, and suddenly I couldn't understand what she was saying, and all I could think about was the vision in my mind of my father grabbing my three year-old arm with one hand, the wooden spoon was in his other, and the feeling of complete terror.
This woman and I, we just clicked. And after a conversation with her, I realized how much she cares about what she does, how good she is with what she does, and how STUCK I was in my relationship with my ex-T. I also begin to understand what good therapy might look like. AND how EMDR is going to be useful for me. Very, very useful, I hope. I also realize now that I can get therapy WITHOUT having a special relationship with the therapist, as long as it's a useful one. It's the Useful bit, that's Important.
