Reply to "Hubbys brief impression of T/ I so have to share!"

TN,

Yes you have definately given me something to ponder. About trauma bonding and how our brains are hardwired to be attracted to people who are like our abusers. I always thought this was always all transference, all about me not perceiving my own perceptions correctly and trusting them, but yesterday really shone a whole new light on this whole therapuetic dynamic between T and I. I am becoming more and more questioning of myself and my own motives, and really deep inside, I am feeling myself separate internally and emotionally from my T. I can feel it taking place and I am moving to a place to where I will move out of therapy with her. I don't feel as attached to her as I used to, I don't feel dependent on her as much and have the desire to unattach for safety reasons. To protect myself... and that is ok.

Beestung... yeah gaslighting to the max!
