I am in awe of the way my T gives me almost everything I ask for. I am used to having to "settle" for what is "second best". I do that to myself, thinking I don't deserve better. I don't give myself as many treats as I should. I feel guilty when I ask my H for things, even going out to eat sometimes. I just "settle" and get angry and depressed.

In the beginning of therapy, I said an hour always seemed so short to me in my years of therapy. With no hesitation she said we'd make it 1 1/2 hours.

I said it helped if I could email her after each session, and for her to email back. She said okay to that.

I said I wanted her to hold my hand. She said okay to that.

I said I wanted her to read some things I wrote and look at some pictures. No problem. She's thrilled.

I said my grandson was having heart surgery so she said she'd pray for him.

I said I was worried she wouldn't be back from vacation (what if she died?) She said she'd be back and she was.

There are more examples, but some are too identifying for me to post.

T's gifts make me feel like I can ask for something, and that I deserve to receive it. She makes me feel so loved. It's almost too much for me to grasp. I just wanted to share my insight of the day.
