It is not about me being selfish as I had one person years ago tell me. It is because life has been what it is. Bottom line for me is that right now in this time of things, therapy does give me a reason to live. Sorry if I shared to much.

Someone posted (I think it was kind of recently) that they wonuldnt sui because it would make their T look bad. I have definitely been there! But not being there now doesnt mean I dont need T. The article that Echoes posted in the other thread says it quite nicely. That the relationship is healing (at least this is what I understood the article to say). That isnt necessarily about this or that goal, but it can be the healing nature of the T replacing old "wiring" in our brains with her/his soothing words and kindness toward us. As a "good enough" mother would do.
Rainbow, I dont see anything wrong with wanting this in your life. A person who cares about YOU for that hour. Who wants to hear all about Rainbow for 1 hour. In RL does anybody really want to listen like that? Not in my RL. I am the listener and the healer. If I get to say 1 sentence about how I feel during the day its a lot. Maybe it is just BEACUSE you have such a full life that therapy is like an oasis. What do you think?
