> Thanks for your lovely message!
The pleasure was all mine!
Going to a conference like the one i just went to, with all of the amazing new information laid out in front of us in the form of functional MRI slides, lets us all know that what we feel instinctively about our relationships with our therapists has a profound, real truth- it's really there, lighting up in the most primitive, and important, parts of our brains- important in terms of our feelings of well-being and basic safety- which allows us to live as fully and rewardingly as possible.
Wow!! must have been really something eh... were there really slides showing all the info of what is taking place in a patient/clients nuerological systems during intensive attachments in good psychotherapy, coupled with the long term effects on a child from a cold and negative attachment?

> It's wonderful to hear that you have a therapist who understands these things so well, and is providing what you need so well, also.Thank you !
I always have felt that she (my psychologist) is a gift from God sent into my life to help repair and heal the parts of my that had been buried alive or even completely killed off.
Well you know hat they say ' ur never too dead for a resurrection'
My theraPy with this woman has been steady and i will not even attemp to verbalise the things that have taken place in myself througgh the hard work being put into it.
Some thing are just better left unsaid, right!
But what I like about talking about this with you is that u have reasl scientific approach to whats going on in the theraputic relTIONSHIP COUPLED WITH instinct and intuitive knowledge.
I find you rather delightful!!!
My therapist gazes right into my eyes and I feel a great deal of warth in the connection there.
Not too get too carried away on the sexual energy and all that, though i do my fair share of that sort of thought and talk.
but this what ur descirbing is different, and i feel that its what i need to help me understand the beauty of the truth of ther amazing love and caring that is healing .
How do you suppose its even possible for someone else who is doing a job to have this kind of connection and influence and positive effect on another person?
is it just as heart surgeons can save a mans life doing their job, or a fireman pulling a child from aburning building?
I think they are sort of good guardian angels -
pls dont mis understand me im not zany or wacky i just trying to convey the enormity of the wonderous effects a good theraputic alliance can hve on the patient/client.
do you think its possible the therapist is beneiting in some major way too from the alliance with a particular client whom they are working so closely with, and connecting as much as possible in the terms you have described were taught to you at the conference; gentle voice tone, eye contact, and that feeling....
Hope you are interested enogh to keep writing to me Sir, i do like our conversation very much!
once again many thanks
all the best
and looking forward to hearing from you and your thoughts on any matter but especially this one at this timely moment in my life.
Take care
