In my session today my T just unexpectedly came right out and said "it is ok for you to ask me questions, you know. I might not answer all of them, but you can ask"

Holy geez!! Made me aware of the extent to which I keep her at a distance by not being curious, not asking about all that human stuff that makes a therapist not just a therapist, but someone with whom I can build a healing relationship. I thanked her for giving me permission. Part of being trapped in 'being a good girl' mode is that I never assume it is ok to actually try to move closer to someone. Have to change that!

Anyhow, moonrise, I hope you have an equally good experience when you see your T
