I want to second what Dinah said. If you met me, never in a million years would you "see" what is seen in therapy...or here on the board. I'm SOOOO together. *sigh*
I went into therapy with complaints of feeling sad and overwhelmed. I thought it was a midlife crisis coupled with my husband's illness. And that is what we worked on for 7 months...once per week, etc. I don't think I told him about much more pain than a hang nail. Then we happened onto a weird conversation about hugs and how touchy/feely the people I work with are. And I said I didn't like to be hugged. He didn't ask "why not?" And I got so upset with him for not asking that question! All these years of keeping things secret and bam...I just needed to tell. A year later I'm a mess, I'm a clingy client and he says it is totally OK, this is what he does best anyway.
Can we agree that therapy is like a box of chocolates? You never know what you are going to get!
