Hi Granite,

I'm somewhat confused by your t's response to your letter. I can't figure out what part of it would have made her angry. Do you recall what exactly your t was talking about when she used your name and said that something "wasn't OK"?

One thing i notice is how much more open you are about expressing your feelings!!! I can remember when you would go to your session and sit there and not be able to talk at all. You are making good progress!! Just do you best to keep communicating with your t, even if the feelings are painful or angry.

If you are anything like me, there are alot of times when my t and I misunderstand each other, or i misinterpret what she's saying. It doesn't surprise me because in my family growing up, we never shared our feelings or talked about problems. So learning how to truly communicate from the heart is hard!! Plus, it just makes me feel so vulnerable!! But you are doing very well, Granite. Keep plugging along!
