thanks for messages - can't tell you how much it means just to have had responses so quickly. I have spoken with T about attachment issues - and I am able to be quite vulnerable with her - but come away and beat myself up really badly about being so needy and pathetic and so determine not to be so needy the next time. When our sessions are over I feel good for a couple of hours if I am lucky - and then the self criticism comes in - that this is all very self indulgent and you just need to pull yourself together, that you are a grown woman and shouldn't need to expereince the things that you want to when you are in the session - and more to the point why can't the T be more available between sessions - why have I got to ask for everything all the time - if she knows that I am struggling with a very small part of me why doesn't she look out for that small part of me outside the therapy sessions - it wouldn't take much to check I am ok - but I know that I am supposed to take responsibility for all this stuff - what 3 year old was ever able to take responsibility for herself!!
