Firstly, hi & good luck with everything. Secondly, had a chuckle when I read your post re; mindfulness. My T gives me homework on mindfulness etc too. I know in some way it's supposed to be beneficial, but I struggle to see the immediate relevance when I'm about to become homeless & become bankrupt.
You may think you bottle up with your T, but reading between the lines it seems like you really do like him/her. That's brilliant. Finding one you like & trust can be difficult. So, well done, & stick with it. More power to you!
