In my post a few weeks ago I mentioned that something has happened with this new therapist. It is the first time in 15 yrs of therapy...actually 16 years that someone was not afraid to touch the root of what is going on. My last therapist, N., she saw it. She knew what was going on. However, 2 shoulder surgeries in the first 5 months of seeing her didn't give her the ability to dig deep into what was going on. She did more stabilization and working on building trust and some light(er) ground work.
ELEVEN.
That is the number of therapist I have had prior to seeing R.
She is the first person to address the abuse and trauma head on and not back off. She hasn't let "me" get scared, freak out and tell her nope, nadda, not going there, nothing....and backed off. Instead, in those moments she has hunkered down and said what I needed to hear.
"Do you want to get better...?"
