Hey Tree..I wanted to comment when I read your post a few hours ago, but really wanted to take some time to say everything I wanted.

I feel things start to push at me and...yuck.
My T does this every session. He doesn't want to influence me in any way, so he lets me feel what I need to and then reflect. Sometimes I really HATE this, but I've come to realize I need to use and appreciate the silence.

I'm not sure I could have summed up my life better myself. That statement has been my life since the beginning of November. Feeling like I'm watching my life on television and crying at it like it is some emotional, tearful movie scene. I feel like I haven't been IN my life in months, maybe longer. I try so hard to jump in every once in a while, but sometimes it is just so excruciating that sometimes I have to change the channel...It is definately a work in progress.

Thank you for sharing...and I love that T covered you with a blanket...so very sweet.
