Wow - I am SO impressed that you reached out to T, and that she responded by giving you what you needed. That is SUCH good work!!

My T left me a very stern message once, totally different from his usual messages, and in the moment, it really helped. It was what I needed...some boundaries around what behavior is okay, and what's not okay (it was about SI). It felt good that he cared enough to leave that kind of message.

Giving up bad coping skills is hard work. And I do think there is grieving involved. I try to remember that I can feel sad and get better at the same time, and that it won't always be this hard.
