Had a T appointment recently and learned a new breathing technique. It’s a good one but will require practice to master because it’s triggering for me. I had not shared with my T that a part of one of my adventures involved repeat strangulation to the point of black out. (Not easy sharing that here either!)
I decided to send T an email to explain that the technique will prove to be challenging but I’d like to keep trying. Then I provided some detail on why....more than what I wrote here, so T could understand.
I never expect a response, nice when I get one. But there’s no expectation of anything. I got one but it’s clearly bothering me cuz I’m writing here to see what others perspective is. Likely my reaction is not accurate.
T wrote - thanks for the info
In response to my share.
I understand it is info, and helps T do a job. But I think I must want more than what feels like a cold reply to sharing a personal and painful piece of my past. I know I said I don’t expect anything from T, but is it ok to expect something in this case or is that asking too much?
For me it feels like what I shared doesn’t rate. That I over-shared unimportant details. That there’s no support for sharing something like that, just thanks and carry on.
My T is great, and we get along fine. So, yeah, probably me feeling sorry for myself!! Blah!
