This may be caused by a lot of things like people get stuck in various situations in some point of their lives which enable them to feel towards that situation. Some learn how to hate. Some learn how to forgive. Some just fall in love. Every feeling is valid. It is a right of a person involved.

One therapist kept asking me, whenever something came up: "how is this familiar?" That's quite a powerful question to ask yourself when a strong emotion arises, because I believe these things come in cycles and we revisit stuff all the time without fully understanding why. So, now I try to ask myself, "how is this Wandering Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478039463695542535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-22651959765612740392008-09-12T00:28:00.000-07:002008-09-12T00:28:00.000-07:00Writing has this power sometimes.I've remembered s...Writing has this power sometimes.<BR/>I've remembered some years ago when my therapist was o vacations and I was feeling very bad.<BR/>I wrote almost everyday and once a week I went to her house and left the written pages.<BR/>I don't have any idea what I've wrote but that was the way Ive found to deal with this situation.<BR/>I hope you find some relief and get better.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889189418315180865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-60098406518270944652008-09-11T19:33:00.000-07:002008-09-11T19:33:00.000-07:00Yes, everything you said is true.

It does take courage to be able to speak freely with your therapist (or any practitioner you are dealing with.) <BR/><BR/>Plus, your relationship with your therapist is incredibly intimate. You tell them so many things and work on so many delicate and even painful issues!

Seems like you have been going through a lot. I know how hard it is with therapists and trust. We have to trust them more than anyone else in our lives (at least for me this is true) because they hear ALL of our thoughts, secrets etc. It can really be a vulnerable relationship!
