I think my therapist is very special, Witti - and it sounds like yours is too. I love that he tells you that he won't leave you, even when you push him away.
I think sometimes that we have to go through some of this to heal - this pushing and pulling and running away. It is the separation stuff that was supposed to happen when we were kids, but never did. So now we need to attach to our therapists and then differentiate from them. It is just such a painful process for us adults. Walking out of a session is a display of your own agency. But as AnnieRose often reminds me, walking out costs $2 a minute, without resolution. It is better to sit there and see what comes out. But it is very hard to do.
I think we begin to trust and then each time we want to tell something new or something deeper, we have to test and then retest this trust. Our foundation is tilted, so we have to keep looking for things to prop it up.
thanks for the support
