There need no be any action or decisions that arise from them - especially when you know "logically" that they may be overblown.
I texted my T last night to cancel my extra appointment for next week and I also called and left message telling her how I was feeling about her forgetting. I didn't want to do that. I would have rather crawled away never to return but she and I have been through enough that I have a hard time keeping stuff from her.

This is her reply by text: " Skysblue, thanks so much for letting me know how my forgetting part of your story made you feel. Of course it was devastating. I am very sorry. I will hold the Friday space next week. You can decide next week if you want it."

And like always when she reaches out to me I feel compelled to 'cry on her shoulder" and so I texted her in return:

"I hate to confess this. I really hate exposing myself even more but I am struggling mightily. I could barely sleep last night. I don't blame you at all but it is hitting me hard. So stupid on my part. I am so embarrassed."

And this is what she texted back: " Skysblue, this is an old, old wound that has been activated by my forgetting. Please keep paying attention to feelings, images, etc. (signed) T"
Thanks for this!
