Dear T,

I do not like this homework assignment. Why do you think I struggle with relationships? Why do we have to continually go to my 'past'? Things that happened 30+ years ago cannot have that much affect on me now. Why do you think they do?

I just want to stop talking about my past. Can we leave that alone and stay in the present? I know that you think I am still hurting from things in my past. So what? What has that got to do with anything that I am going through now?

I know you think that if I still get emotional about those things, there is more to work through. Are you sure about that? Do you know how silly I feel talking with you about things that happened when I was just a kid? Well, I feel stupid!! That's how I feel. I feel like I am making a fool of myself!!
