Hi Tamar -
I'm glad you are feeling so connected to your therapy right now, and yes, seperations are hard. I'm currently on day 13 of a vacation break - and I will hopefully have an appt on Tues if I don't get stuck in an airport on Monday in NYC.
You are brave. Good job for bringing up some difficult sexual issues. I just skirt around the topic when needed, don't delve too deep. No pun intended. Waiting to continue the conversation after you open up a sensitive point is so hard too. There is just no way around "easy therapy" - I don't think it really exists. It's an office filled with land mines just waiting to explode or implode.
But I do disagree. I know he has forgotten several things recently; he won't forget this conversation. Not to be sexist, men just don't forget easily the sex topic.
The 18 year old is yearning to heal the past hurts. It makes perfect sense to me that she wants to feel your T's kindness, compassion and love. She needs to know that it's safe to do so. Your T does want your loving side of you in therapy; he can't fall "in love". But I think it's okay to share your feelings. Always makes for a good session.
What has helped me get through my vacation, then hers (back to back) was meditation and yoga, especially yoga. It feels like therapy without the angst.
Besides therapy stuff, how are you doing? How is your mother-in-law?
Thinking of you,
Annie
