Reply to "New Book Discussion: "In Session-The Bond Between Women and Their Therapists”"

I just want to add here that today in my session we were again talking about termination (in general not mine, not now at least) and my T who up till now had confessed he had not opened this book that I lent to him 3 months ago got up and pulled out the book and quoted me something on page 10...it was similar to that famous quote on p 41 that makes me cry. Anyway, I smiled and said... you need to read what it says on p41 which he immediately flipped to and since it was already highlighted he found it easily. He read it out loud to me and then shut the book at looked at me and said "well, that's it, isn't it? A huge bind." I shook my head saying..."that's the really hard part about all of this and I cannot even begin to think of it right now... the part about leaving here."

I think today he finally "got it". And we had a wonderful session which left me with a warm feeling of being cared for.
