I'm missing a session this Friday and I'm feeling a little scared and lonely already. I will miss my safe place to talk about whatever I need to with the person who always gives me something useful back. It feels critical to my life right now, and I don't think I'm going to feel completely myself again until I see him again.

Attachment, and its absence, makes us human too. I have to remind myself that being attached is a positive thing. Attachment promotes feeling safe in therapy, and feeling supported, and all those fluffy feelings help us voice the unspeakable and let that take us where we need to go.

Not to go all Martha Stewart on you, but it's a good thing.
