Super intense session today. I always feel like these kind of sessions cause brain damage.
I went home and napped for 90 minutes and then to work, and I'm still reeling.
I'd never seen him get defensive before. Yeah, I kind of tested him, to see where/how he cracks. But we both recovered and understood each other better. Mostly I mumbled and said nonsequitors. He did most of the talking. It's amazing how I'll be thinking something (complicated) and he'll untangle it for me, without my having said a word.
My responsibility is to come to therapy with "stuff" to work on. His responsibility is to make it a safe place to work on "stuff".
So we go back to basics here. I'm gonna get out my notebooks and start to journal some of the stuff, bring it to therapy, and practice losing my tears and getting all messy and incoherent. He gets to practice dealing with a messy llurpsie. Fun huh?
Trauma...trauma... so many layers of sh*t
