I hope you are having a better time and feeling healthier...that is paramount here! The week sounds so difficult!

I think what YOU think is vital here.

Clearly, lots of people on this forum think your Ts response is awesome. So I would like to offer another, perhaps minority opinion.

I don't think your therapist's response is all that marvelous, to be honest. And I think this kind of communcation between therapist and "client," or "patient", fosters an extreme kind of dependency. And I think the tone of the message is really kind of cloying. I think if a therapist sent it to me, I would conclude....gee, this is what I get for not being in steady touch via email? And I would be that much more dependent next time around. I would think: I can "test" to see if the relationship is intact, rather than develop this trust..and know.

Gosh. Maybe I'm having a bad day or being punished by my superego, but on the other hand, perhaps I belong in the "arms" of a cold, distant therapist after all. I'm not usually this cranky on PC, and if I'm off base, please forgive. As I said, I'm outnumbered here, and perhaps for great good reason. It happens to us all!

But...getting back to YOU...what do you think? What feelings did this evoke in you...perhaps it will take some time to know! I hope you give yourself the space, time and respect...that knowing will come!
Blessings,
