Thanks to all who have expressed concern for me. You don't know how much it means to me.

I do want to clarify something. I sought out a Christian counselor. I knew beliefs could come into play. Some have stated that my T has "shared too much about her beliefs". However, I do not and here is why.

From the practice website:
We do not impose our faith/beliefs upon anyone, but we are not ashamed to expose principles of faith when and only if it is appropriate and does not cause harm.

What I do expect is respect. If I choose something different for my life, I want respect. What T said is what she believes. That in and of itself is okay with me. I respect her beliefs. I simply want to be respected for my beliefs, even if they are different from hers. She has shown respect for my beliefs so far in one year of therapy. I just hope she continues.

I waited to send the email to T until a few minutes ago. I wanted to sleep on it, see if I wanted to change anything, and I didn't. We'll see what happens.
