Thanks, granite. Are you alll right?

sunrise: Yes, it was so comforting to hear her response, especially coming so quickly. She said she's taken a walk with another client. I'm glad about the EMDR too. What she is learning fits right in with my problems. I forgot to ask if she got her Level 2 certificate yet, but I know she likes to keep learning.

poetgirl: thanks. About the email situation. I will miss her replies about what I wrote because I liked most of them. I will just have to reread all the ones I printed since we began therapy. I hope her brief note will allow me to feel more connected, though.

sweetlove: Thank you for summing up my session. You'rhe right. My T did validate me and my concerns. She understands me and she tries to meet my needs the best she can.

sugahorse: What you wrote means a lot to me. My T and I were a good fit from the start. It seemed rig:ht. She wanted me to see someone more experienced with EMDR, but I told her I wanted to see HER. She's my 5th T, and the only one I've had this kind of fit with. Our personalities fit, and her orientation fits because it's nurturing and gentle, yet she doesn't lose sight of our goals.

ECHOES: I do feel relaxed because of my session! Thanks!

Of course I sent her a long rambling email but said it's too soon for my response. I still question the feeling so good because of the connection, but remember in the session when I told her Ts always "shatter my dreams" because of the reality of the therapeutic relationship, she said something about not wanting me to feel that way. She doesn't want to shatter my dreams! I hope that's possible because I have trouble keeping it/her into perspective and start looking at the finger, not the moon. I told her in my email that another fantasy is wishing we were sisters! I actually wrote her that. I never felt that about any other T. I never had a sister. It would be nice. I have to relax and just enjoy what she's giving me and not feel that it's not good for me, that it will make me attach more. She thinks it will make me attach less.
