Okay, SO MUCH happened I don't even know if I can tell it all to you! But it was probably one of our best sessions ever! I said EVERYTHING that I wanted to.
About the lying thing.... get ready for a shock........ He admitted he made a mistake telling me that he is a good liar. He didn't realize what he said until my reaction later. He understood why I reacted the way I did. In fact he said it wasn't transference I was feeling, I was really mad at him and felt let down. I can't believe he can be so honest, yet tell me he is a good liar. lol T's can be confusing!
He also told me he will stay being my T until I am done as long as he is being helpful to me and as long as I keep improving and working on my issues. I told him I think we are only 1/3 of the way there and he aggreed that I might be right.
A lot happened and it all turned out very productive. We talked about boundries, personal relationships, trust (the big issue of the day), and everything that has to do with a therapy relationship. He even said that this was our best session yet. I am glad I went back and didn't give up on him. :) Now I am going to try therapy every 10 days instead of everyweek! It is getting expensive!

I'm very glad it went so well. And I'm glad that you both agreed about how good it was, and that he won't give up on you.Well done for saying everything you wanted to say! And it's great that he admitted his mistake!

Hi Happyflower,
Good for you! You said it all and your T heard it all. I'm glad that it went so well. Trust is so hard, I don't think I'll ever say it all and I've been in therapy for almost three years. Yikes.

That's great, HF. Really good news. It's so nice when someone does the right thing, says the right thing, etc. I'm so glad that your trust in him is growing.

hi, This is really stupid, but I am so self-centered that I never realized that there are so many issue involved in one on one therapy. I feel...lucky, I guess. I hadda do homework. No sweat I thought. I'm nothing if not glib. Oh was I wrong. had to quit. I was 4 and getting slapped around again. I didn't feel pain as much as a sprititual exhaustion cause I've been carrying this crap around all my life.
I'm gonna go do some more...maybe tonite. You know, I don't think I'll ever get it right. In many ways I'm always going to be four and hapless. Paul simon sang that he was a rock. WEll I feel like a puddle of muck. So it goes, cockeyed.

((happyflower)) !!!
I'm so happy that things worked out! It must feel going knowing that you were right in your heart about what he said, and then to have him verify it and tell you the truth and apologize. It's good news! It sounds like your T is pretty good to you, overall, even though he makes some mistakes.Good luck going to 10 days. please keep us updated on how that works out. :)
