Actually I hope it is only the first of many such talks to come but it went very well... I went in trally apprehensive but somewhat prepared - in addition to all the helpful and useful ideas people here had given me, I had been journalling as well to sort out my thoughts. It was good that I did too b/c in the journal I expressed some angry feelings in a very negative way that would have been counter-productive for this sort of encounter in person and I got that out of my system. And when I got there I was able to actually talk rather than read from my writing (there was a time when I could only discuss certain things by jointly reading something I'd written in my journal so this too was an improvement). My T was so incredibly warm and supportive, I don't really know why I was afraid to talk to him frankly. Well, I do know and it is related to my ACOA past. I hope this is the first in a series of such sessions because now I feel I have a lot to say that I was afraid to say before - it can be very hard for me to express my real self with a male whose connection is very important to me and who I care about. I am thankful for the insights and support from all of you - b2c, I read your post just before the session and kept your "carry on, LL!" in my mind for backbone (lol).

Ya!! backbone!
but you don't need me...are you kidding? with the name you picked? just think of charlie's angels and the @ss kickin she did in that show!
you rock.seriously though. that's some tough stuff. but you did really well.
i know some talkin, even though it doesn't SEEM like it should be that hard sometimes turns out harder than talking about trauma stuff. or at least sometimes seems just as hard.
so i understand.but dont back down. you keep on going now. there's lots more to go. and YOU CAN DO IT.
i'm VERY glad to hear he was SO receptive. and your emotionial bond to him...the more you talk to him this was is grow and change. it will stay attached but it will be more adult attached. though there could always be a part young attached...i don't know. (again that's me and little me talking).
that is new territory for me as i'm still having my little parts connect and talk to my T. but i also have the adult me connected to my T. so i kinda have both relationships. but i do think mine is mostly young attatchment to grownup...i think.
best wishes LL.
b2c.
