Dear T,

Thank you for making me feel so cared for today. I'd been concerned that contacting you outside of my sessions was just me being needy and then you told me you were touched that I contacted you at such a critical moment in my life. I'm not used to being dependent on anyone and you're making it safe and okay. And thank you for reaffirming that you're not going anywhere and that you'll be there for me. Most of the people I've trusted have dropped out of my life and it gives me such a feeling of security to know that you have no intention of doing that before I'm ready to be on my own.

I've never had anyone as much on my side as you are. Please bear with me while I get used to that and learn to trust it.
