> I guess I still have my doubts as to whether or not the affirmations are sincere, truthful, coming from his heart or not. If I carry these doubts with me then I don't think the tape would be very "therapeutic" for me.You're right. I would have the same fear. If it's "you're a good person" "you deserve respect" and other generic things, that would do zilch for me. My T's writing and tapes say things like, "I appreciate you because you are always so conscientious about giving your child a different life than you had. Because you have the capacity to love him so much, I think you have the ability to heal completely." There isn't one line that is generic -- all them have an example of something I said or did. You could tell your T your concerns and say that the only way it could be helpful is that it contained things that wouldn't be relevant to anyone in the world but you. I bet he would agree and be happy to accomodate you.
