Hi Squiggle,

I am so, so pleased for you that you had a really great session, just as you deserve!! I'm glad to join your victory party! *pulls up a chair! * lol

It's great that you were able to share some of your posts from here with your Therapist and that it let her know what has been worrying you.

I am really glad your Therapist was able to put your mind at rest that she wasn't going to terminate your therapy, it sounds like she really wants you to understand that. She's not going anywhere and I think planning all your sessions for next month, giving the extra sessions and seeing you the day before her holiday are all ways she is trying to prove she is there for you.

I understand that your afraid to feel attached to your therapist, I am always afraid of that and try my best for it not to happen but it does. It kinds sounds like it has happened for you also on some level and that scares you but your therapist is right that the relationship is an important part of therapy.

Sometimes my T has said "if-----was here what would they say about you/what would you say about them?" sort of like the empty chair thing, its really interesting to think about, it sometimes helps, esp if you feel you can't say something to the actual person you want to. As your T said..its something to think about when your ready

It sounds like your T made you feel very safe today and that you feel really great about that, as you should
