I did send her an email to reply to something she sent to me. She posed this statement to me and then I answered:

Therapist: The point of therapy is to face painful issues in order to feel better.

My reply: You know what I think about that? It is weird to open up to someone, and there is no consoling done. I get that there is not supposed to be any physical contact between a therapist and client. It is just awkward to sit there crying and having someone just look at you and wait for you to finish. Maybe you can explain that to me and fill me in on how that is suppose to work.

I probably will not get a response until Monday. I think that this has opened her to the prospect that I may be needing that attention. What do you think? Did I hint that I am wanting a hug or some type of comfort?
