So I was in session yesterday with a patient, dealing with her past trauma and abuse her family of origin....to make a long story short, I'm usually not affected by my what my patients share, however, I couldn't get what my patient shared out of my mind....
The part that bothered me wasn't the part that bothered my patient, in fact that was the least of the things that bothered her and she found it quite funny...
anyway, what she said was that growing up her mother and father owned a licensed day care and that her mother would abuse the kids that came in as well...and that her siblings and her would fight over the food that the kids' mothers would bring for their babies...and that the day care babies wouldn't get to eat what their mothers brought for them...of course, this happened over 20 years ago...as we are dealing with her past abuse and her parents are both now deceased...I was so bothered!
And I know it's because of my own fears about that sort of thing happening to my DS...
Just needed to vent....
