Remember that when you go back, you can go as quickly or as slowly as you want. You don't have to walk in the door and talk about the hard stuff. You can reconnect, and get comfortable, and give yourself as much time as you need.

I would really love to hear how your first session back goes

treehouse, thank you SO much for taking the time to post such a lengthy response.

your words resonate deeply for me.

You have reminded me of something - to have compassion for myself (and that I have a long way to go with that). as part of my homework, i have been reading about it. it's amazing how you can absolutely NOT see how hard you are being on yourself until someone else shows you the kindness & compassion you deserve.

the other part of what you said that resonated with me is allowing myself the time to reconnect with her. I didn't realize a part of me wanted that until you 'said' it.

i am realizing that there are three different parts to the thoughts I am having toward my session next week:

one: "You're paying a lot of money for an extended session. DON'T WASTE A MINUTE!!!"

two: "I wanna reconnect."

three: "I'm afraid to reconnect.

i just gotta work on the part that says... "It's ok to feel all of those things. Just relax."

Thank you, treehouse.
