hi zoo, what a great session! like everyone else, i was smiling the whole time i read your post! it reminded me of my progress with my therapist as far as hugging goes - i think i'll dig up that thread and post an update.

at any rate, good for you! i'm so glad it's going in the direction that it is, and i agree with granite, it's not the beginging of the goodbye - just a new phase in therapy for you. keep up the good work!
