Thanks very much Daisy.
I could ask my T to do this, but he would say that we need to talk about it first, and there comes the frustration. When I am feeling strong and ask him to do things along this line, he asks me why and I sometimes find it funny and say, because I want you to. It scares me to try to ask him to "be me" as you describe because I think it would turn on me.
Thanks for the moral support - maybe I willtry to imagine my husband is there with me, and holding my hand.
Leaving things like this with this T is the last thing I need. This needs to be a complete thing that ends without me feeling hurt, lost, rejected, or like a failure. That's my history, and maybe I'm trying to repeat what I know, but I don't think so. He and I are just bypassing each other.
Is he asking me to prove my feelings? Maybe it's more that he's asking me to deal with them in the way I have been trying to learn to do in therapy.
What, can't a girl have a relapse?
