Reply to "Shameful Memories"

I avoid details, but sometimes I go in to them. It's so hard being vulnerable, and dealing with the after-shame. ((Ang))

One of my T's has a stone-cold-killer face. Unless I make her laugh. So I could be as graphic or not graphic as I want and if it's not funny she just... I could be talking about a kitten, or about details of the most horrible thing in my life and I'm pretty sure she stays exactly the same. She's pretty expressionless to me... I still feel her... empathy. And her voice/tone or things she will say communicate her understanding and care.

My other T is much more expressive, physically but facially I don't think so.

For some reason they are both... kind of stone face. I'm not really sure why. Sometimes it seems like they don't care but I know they care they are just trying not to trigger me by any sort of reaction I guess who knows... they act very much like I'm either lying (my own perception and mind reading here) or it's just like... 'okay this is time #1238102 I've heard this one". I might be distorting (selective memory) right now, I'm not sure.

I'm so glad you were able to share, and I do understand the reactions you're talking about here.
