hold yer horses there, soss! you have already proven to T that you are a successful career woman and mother. telling him about things in your past is *not* going to change how he perceives you now.

but it will probably give him some room to help you heal further. if you are worried that it's because he will see you in pain, and that you should be over this pain - well - that's not something to be concerned about either. T has seen you in distress before, and he didnt think "holy moly, gotta take that kid away and make her quit her job".

he sat with you and worked through it.

catherine's idea is a good one. i used to do this with my old T, too. i hope you can find something that is workable for you.

, if ok.
