Curious, I am so glad that your therapist is supportive (though i realize that does not erase your pain.) I had a therapist who called me a "coward" when I questioned whether I should visit my father when he was dying. She laid on a big guilt-trip...likely d/t her own personal, unprofessional reasons. I realize not all therapists are like that. I ended therapy with her and I'm hoping to find someone who really understands how adults struggle after an abusive childhood. I could really use a professional ear to guide me. You gave me hope when you mentioned your therapist...thank you for that!
