I think a lot of people don't feel this, as they don't have the contrast of not feeling this way--it makes it harder to detect and appreciate. I think because you have the contrast of before and after (dealing with trauma), you are able to feel this. It is, in a way, a gift of your trauma work.

Yes. It is an exciting time now in therapy to think how you will fill it, and when you decide, T can help you come up with ways to make happen what you want to. I think this is a reward for you and for your T--he now gets to help you with the positive instead of just working to undo the negative. It is what the two of you have been working towards. Hurray!
