I hadn't thought about the vulnerability part. That's interesting and I'll have to consider the role it plays.
You're right. As humans, we try to make sense of what happened to us, and we do assume control if it's the only way we can make sense of them. My T says that part of these feelings may be pre-verbal feelings and that it is understandable that I have a hard time putting words to something that I had no words at the time to describe. There's just such an ache and a longing to all of this.
I've found myself in situations that I also swore that I would never permit to happen again. For me, it was transference over and over again, but this time, with my pdoc, we are committed to "resolving" it in a healthy manner, and I trust him that we will get there. It's just so painful.
Thanks so much. If my emotional side would just accept the cognitive, rational side...
