Twineleaf, today I had another session with mine and it went well. He told me that me staying connected to him during this initial time was of the most utmost importance. He said we must meet as often as possible and it is my call. If I need him, I can call in to schedule the meeting sooner, or call him to talk by phone or email if I would like. He also wants me to bring a tape recorder so I can record certain things he is saying so I can play with I need to to reaffirm certain things he thinks I need to hear when I need to reaffirm who exactly he is to me. Not the bad mother I am currently seeing him as. It truly is a miracle I found him. He said to me today when I can see him for who he really is, not projecting who my parts think he is then I am on my way to real recovery and to being well. He said you will know you are on your way when you can at least see me as a good parent versus a bad one like you are now because that is why all your "inners parts" are working so hard to keep you from coming to meet with me. It was a great session, I stood firm said what I needed to and I have told him in three session more than I ever told the other T in 9 months. Says alot about him too I think. he is all those things active, refective, involved, detached, participating, observing, passionate and rational, close and distant. It is hard to imagine to be all those things at once but it can be and be good. I do feel he can help me. And I can finally be helped. He did warn me it would get messy at times. But it would work out in the end. I am enjoying these quotes. Thanks for them.
