YAY Squiggle! (((((Squiggle))))

So so proud of you. Glad the session went well. Your emoticons made me smile, the blah blah blah was my favorite. I use that all the time. It's okay to be fickle with your emotions. I noticed mine have been way more intense since I am in therapy and I think part of that is that I am much more aware of them, they are surfacing, and I am processing them.
I hate the empty chair thing too. When my T wanted to do that, I just had him be the other person or part of my mind I was talking to. Would you feel more comfortable with that?
I am really happy for you. Stick with this moment and remember it if you are feeling blue or frustrated.
