Dear T -

I think I know why I feel so dependent on you now. I think you are trying to teach me to be my own advocate, but really, I feel like you stick up for me and no one has ever done that for me before.

I feel like if we walked over to the restaurant down the street, sat down, and someone made a mean comment to me that you would stand right up and confront that person. I've been so independent and self-reliant for my whole life, but a sad part of me is still looking for that knight-in-shining-armor type.

Maybe I will tell you that I see you this way, but I don't want the session to become extra awkward.

I'm so glad I have you as this part of my life, and I can't see myself ever wanting to give you up.
