what does a therapist say to an eip?
My family hit a breaking point after my Mother dumped her feelings about me in a 9 page letter. Mostly sugar coating the fact she loathes how I look now. I know it’s her fault, and I didn’t do anything wrong, but I still hold guilt and I’m still really frustrated and upset even having casual surface level conversations on the phone with them. I did, yell at her over the phone, and we went almost 2-3 months of absolutely no contact. I was forced back in contact because my sister begged me to.
My mom is going to therapy once a month it seems, I have access to all of her information via digital calendar and Icloud. She’s going to therapy for this relationship, however, i keep worrying that she will say things in a way that would make her seem better and me look worse. I know it’s not my business, but part of me is afraid she’ll pull back more, and thats restating the fact I have no emotional connection to my mom whatsoever. I’m afraid she’ll use therapy to be even more upsetting just with a radical spin on it. IE not giving anybody Christmas presents because of how I “treated” her. i don’t care about presents or anything, I’m worried that my mom would spin me in such a negative light that she’ll find ways just to be crueler then she was with me and my sister. I’m afraid that therapy for her would just make everything worse.
