lori, I know what you mean about the session not being long enough sometimes...I feel that by time I get my courage up to talk about something critical, the session is almost over. Or perhaps I sabatoge the attempt by unconsciously waiting??? I can have long runs where I am able to bury the pain of my abuse and get thru my days fairly easily, where I can not let myself feel terribly bad about the fact that I suck at relationships...but in therapy it's all there, looking me in the face and hard to avoid. Sometimes I want to run out of the office and avoid it all. Yes, it is very hard. I want to figure it all out, and I am sure you do to, as well as the rest of the ladies on here. I am just so very grateful to have a wonderful and patient therapist..
