I do understand, that if he was somebody else, I probably would have taken this much nore serious. I am making exuses because we been together for many years, and he has never done stuff like this before. He told me lacked intimacy, and thats way he thought he did it.
I have been together with the same man for 7 years, and we have a 4-year old together.
A couple of years ago, I began to address problems related to my childhood: Being raised by a mother who I think of as slightly narcissistic and tyrannically today. There was emotional, and also mild...
I know its slippery. My point is, this man has shown me what it feels to be loved, even though we dont have a relationship, and even though some of it might also just be in my head. I am thinking about wether my husband will be able to love me and if I will be able to love him, or if it will be...
I was afraid someone would answer this. He says he can change somethings, and other things he cant. And I am afraid he cant even change what he says he want to change.
The reason why I think I am dearing look at the badsides of our relationship, is that I fallen totally for my boss in a period...
I am so confused. Since Ive started therapy one and a half year ago and started working with my trauma and relationships, I have been, in the back of my mind, afraid that I chose a partner that cannot give me what I desire of empathy and love. Like my mother could not give me.
I know I have...
Hi. I am glad my thread could inspire you.
I must idmit, that the reason I dont post much in here, is because I am high functional, and I dont even got a diagnosis. I am in therapy because of childhood trauma though, so I can relate to alot of the symptoms of complex ptsd (which does not even...
Thank u for your answer. I have been seeong this therapist for little more than a year, but only like once a month. Last session we were more «friendly» than before, talking to eachother like to equal individuals. Earlier I guess I have looked on him like an authority figure. It made me wonder...
Thank u! I agree..I think I need to ask my therapist the first question, because i am afraid to be a burden, to be unwanted. And I will look at the questions from time to time, see if anything changed. Great tip!
~ Do you think its ok I am still seeing you? Or do you think I am complaining and weak?
~ Do you fear I am a bad mother because of my childhood?
~ Do you see my shame?
~ Do you think there is something important I am not telling you?
~ Do you believe in me?
Anything you want to ask your...
I dont think I will be able to bring this up in therapy, I am afraid. I guess I dont want him to think less of me, and its not something I am proud of either..
Yeah, I should probably bring it up, but I am afraid that he either find me repulsive/creepy and get worried about me trying to get to close to him.
I dont know, do you talk to your therapist about your relationship with the therapist? Is that vrealy normal? I just dont know if he is the kind...
Yes, I guess you got a point..But how exactly do one work with building healthy relationships in therapy?
I never really thought of my relationships as unhealthy before therapy - but I slowly came to realize that I am not the most "open" person in the world, and I have realize I am afraid to...
I usually wear what I would put on at work. But as you, always pants and I prefer not to show much skin in general. I always think about how I want to present myself - I dont want it to seem like I have been dressing up.
