> I find that when my children and I are experiencing the same thing that I can teach them what they need to know to move past it, but I still have trouble moving past it myself. They learn so much better than I do. I have found it really satisfying to teach them something that I'm learning in therapy. It makes me hope that they won't have the same pain that I do. I think that it also helps me to think about the issue - because I can look at it in my child from a distance.
It's quite helpful for me. I have such a hard time putting my feelings into words so my T can understand. So, some of my best sessions occur when I start them by talking about something going on with my son.
> But it sure does feel strange.It feels very strange to me. But there's also something so familiar. I really do understand his pain and I know what his heart is feeling when I say, "I have to stop because of the time." I mean - "see you later, sweetie. I have to go to work, now." ;)
> I like the phone call idea, it sounds like it is working well for both of you.Seems to be working. It'll be interesting to see what happens this week while I'm in Tucson and his dad is doing the drop off at daycare. I'm still going to call him each day, though. Might be even more important.
