@bedmobile that is very true . i also feel, however, that this is the first real challenge ive felt in therapy and that i really need to be willing to push myself in a way that no previous therapist has. ive been in therapy for so long with great therapists who have treated me very tenderly and i feel like no one has actually made me Confront myself in a way that this therapist is doing. from a therapeutic standpoint, she is doing everything right; i've just never been under someone who does pretty straightup psychoanalytic therapy (as far as methods) and i'm really intimidated and the fact that i'm experiencing serious transference with her needs to be addressed, not ran away from. i wish it was easier but i feel like i need to stick with her
