Aww, Tree.

How nice that you feel so comforted when you're with your T, and I must say it's rather remarkable that you feel so connected to T so soon after your rupture - it just shows how strong your relationship with your T really is. And I'd say that, yes, it's definitely a very healing step to recognize your needs, to give those needs a voice that both you and T can hear via that email, and to figure out how to meet those needs or how to sit with the sad feeling if you can't meet those needs. Can you teach me how to do all that?
