we could start a whole attachment thread. I mean, I often think we get PTSD because we have had little resilience because we had the early traumas, the developmental traumas, the lack of secure attachment and it meant we were therefore vulnerable to PTSD.
I think one of the saddest things is to tell an adult who has a broken traumatised child inside her psyche, that the adult has to parent the child when the adult has no idea how to relate to this inner part which is causing all the trouble because no-one adequately loved and cherished us when were were children. We have to have that modelled to us by a loving therapist who truly cares about us. I really believe this. don't get me going!!
I feel really let down by my present therapist as he has made a decision to retire early even though it leaves me half way through therapy, having learned to trust him and feel he is there, he has now made a decision to bail out on me. I can't believe that he doesn't understand that I have just reverted back to my usual mode of shutting down, cutting off, closing down.
