AS much as I loved my hugs from my former T, I sometimes felt needy or guilty because I needed them to get through the week. He would ask me if they lasted me through the week and I found I had to say part of the time. It will be interesting to see if I can remember the words and the tone of his voice and replay it in my head during the week if it will feel like it will last longer. I know this may sound silly but I guess we each come up with our own coping skills to get through from session to session. Thanks for all the positive feedback. It is beginning to feel like I belong to a group here. I don't feel like I belong much of anywhere most of the time. I said to my T yesterday that it is pretty sad that the only place I felt I belonged among my peers was in a trauma unit at a mental hospital.
