I'm happy that you feel good about your session

sounds like you did a good job of getting through the email and reading it outloud.

that is a hard thing to do.

i know it firsthand, as i am a writer but, a woman who forgets all of that 'talent' when she sits in front of her therapist and babbles on and on for an hour...

i do think your T is trying to protect you when she sets boundaries, so that is positive too.

i think it takes bravery for any of us to allow our feelings to emerge... feelings cannot be caculated or defined all of the time...

they tend to just be messy and fragmented.

so good for you in just taking the time to acknowledge the preteen you, the part of you that didn't know how to express herself...

each day is a new day, so- who knows, one day you'll cry or express your feelings more then you do today---

good work rainbow
