The feeling unimportant comes from within you. Are you taking advantage of times like this to explore that?

I also get my feelings hurt easily and always have. But I am getting better about it, not because T is careful with me but because she helps me see a broader perspective than the one that creates the hurt feelings. And I've been able to take that outside of therapy too. Sometimes it takes a while for the broader perspective to come to mind, and in the meantime I'm miserable, but at least now I'm finding my way to it.

I would have a hard time with all the time off your T has been taking recently. That is too much disruption for me. I admire that you can do that!

How did you feel about knowing that she was sharing an intimate holiday with her family that day?
