Told T that I dont get the silences. She says that I seem to expect something to be happening all of the time and that just sharing the same space is ok. I kept nodding NO!...its not ok!..seh asked if I felt as if she were withdrawing from me in the silence? I said it just feels like I want you to reach out to me and you dont. Then T finally got it and said "so I'm saying the silence is ok, but for you its like all the times you were left alone as a baby and your mother never reached out to you" and I nodded a big YES!...she got it! she understands, then the session ended.
