What If I Don't Believe What My Therapist Is Saying About Me?

[Srain]

Thank you all for your support. I will discuss this with her. Each time I am able to bring up a concern I have with her I find we are able to get closer. It is especially very difficult for me with women after my last tdoc who burned after 6yrs.

The great thing is, I do feel that I can bring these things up with her and clear the air now, THIS in itself is a bit of trust. But if I were to toss her out over something so minute as this then my husband would have been gone long ago because I don't trust him either, so that's not going to happen. I've committed this far because I do feel I'm making progress. I feel like the fact that I can even ask these questions, let alone ask her, is major.

In the meantime I will work next week with my TT until my next appt. Again your everyone's input has been very helpful, thank you!

Your last paragraph sounded very much like a 'closer', so hope you don't mind one more teeny observation? :)

I'd forgotten this was the T who worked up until delivery and now has a sleep-depriving infant at home. If she did have what sounds like a rare off day with you, as someone mentioned, T's are human. What's more human that that Baby Fog which can permeate alllll of us when the little smelly darlings decide 3 a.m. is when the sun has risen that day? I used to have trouble putting the word 'the' in sentences after that, much less concentrating on complex thought.

I'm glad you feel you can ask her, and she probably feels close enough to you to not mind if you point out she's got a teeny spot of spit up on her shoulder.

Hugs, Rain. :)

Excellent point, Anni, and no, she wouldn't mind my discussing it with her. In fact her reaction would be just the opposite! I will also bring it up with my TT so that I can be sure that if something lingers I might be able to bring the 3 of us together.

There is any number of things that could be going on and most importantly it falls to me address, you are right. :)

Thank you ((((((Anni))))))))
