Hi. I do understand that conflict of do you tell or not... and sometimes it's too scary or makes you too sick to even think about talking about it. Somehow, if it is necessary you will talk about it. I have a running joke now with my therapist. If I remember something difficult, I call ahead and tell him to make sure the wastebasket is empty so I can puke in it if I throw up in session. I never have, but I feel like I will all the way up to the session and having that bucket next to me makes it easy for me to talk. That's just what I do. You'll find a way when you are ready. My therapist has another helpful saying: He says that what needs to come up will, and what doesn't need to come up he doesn't think he needs to go fishing for. He trusts my head because I've lived this long and done a pretty good job at that considering. Same with you. It sounds like you had a really good meeting with your therapist. I'm happy that you got some of that out. I understand the abandonment issues. Take care, Terra
