> Is your T nice to you now? Hope he is making you feel accepted, and not doing too good a job of "not encouraging" whatever feelings you have.
No, he's never been that rejecting. But clearly we learned a lot of this together. He's not trained in analysis, or to really work with transference. An open mind and willingness to be flexible go a long way. I'd say he's far better trained now. :)
> You are SOO lucky to have a relaxation tape from him. How did you manage to convince him to make one for you?That was actually pretty early in the relationship. He was big into relaxation tapes, but I let him know it would be more helpful to me if it were voiced by someone I trusted.
> I wonder how you could felt so confident that it is OK to feel the way you did. That's a good thing. I feel shy about admitting these feelings, except in Babbleland.
It took a lot of time and a lot of work with my therapist. It can happen with you as well. You just need to continue to be brave in talking about it with your therapist.
