On Tuesday - a therapist colleague of mine is going to interview me about my experiences as a child and about what it was like to leave the brethren at such a difficult age, ie 16. I am trying not to think about it as it seems important that I dont come up with pre thought out ideas but answer his questions and probes as he makes them. But I wonder how it will go given that I have thought so much about my past, my experiences and have been in therapy a number of times trying to make sense of my past and of my experiences.
We shall see what he manages to get to from me!
I am having some difficulties getting the questionnaires together - one of them costs a bomb to purchase so that has somewhat stymied our attempts to really get going on this research.
I am a little bothered by the lack of response so far to the resurrection of my blog but I guess it just hasn't been noticed yet.... or has it and you just haven't written anything!! Please do - I would love to hear from you even if it is only to say you are listening!
One thought I have had recently is about authenticity - were we as children able to be authentic. I shall think about this some more but it ties in which another phrase i heard some years ago and that was about the proxy self. In other words, as children were we able to true to ourselves or did we build defences to keep ourselves safe.
