she ended session the other day and said “I’m not going anywhere, we have time” after discussing my fear of being left or hurt for 30 mins and me actively overcompensating to avoid exactly that

Coach Kori :
When I started it was “Janet is safe”. After a while it turned to “I’m safe with Janet”. One day I realized I wasn’t thinking about feeling safe anymore as it had become “I’m safe”. My brain and nervous system had become rewired with her. The default setting was safety. I didn’t have to think about it anymore as “It just IS now”.

It’s honestly the best when you get there. I let my therapist truly know I was struggling with her going on maternity leave because I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come back after she had this break “from me.” A worry of me being a burden to her is something we’ve been working on. It truly does make the best conversations.

Incredible feeling actually. I’ve been seeing mine for nearly 2 years. 2 weeks ago I was able to find words to tell her a thing no other person in my support system knows. I didn’t combust 😅
