I DO think it's totally fine to ask. No matter WHAT the answer, yes, or no, or maybe. EVERYTHING that happens in therapy matters, and teaches us something about ourselves.

(sorry! for all of my PC-use, I still don't know how to break quotes up in a post, so this is a continuation of my previous post!)
Sorry, I didn't catch this reply last night Tree, but that might be a good thing. Everything looks a bit different after a good night's sleep. This morning, I have an unusual sense of peace about the whole thing. I'm not used to having peace about a situation such as this (or anything for that matter )! When I want something, I usually WANT it and I WANT it RIGHTNOW!!! And if I don't get it:

However, this is my perspective this morning: I'm going to ask. I will be happy whatever the answer. If the answer is absolutely, unequivocally, "no", what will change? Absolutely nothing!! I will continue to have the same relationship with her that I have now and that relationship is pretty awesome!! I am healing!! I feel like I've had a breakthrough in the way I think! I am assured I WILL be okay no matter what!

And that, friends, is freeing!
