Thanks for writing what you did, Perna.

Well, a lot of the session was spent talking about my drawing and about art, only a little about my parents. I can't seem to tolerate talking about them much. I said I have confusing feelings about my father.
What was most important to me in the session, however, WAS about my relationship with my T. I feel such a sense of relief because of how she answered me about the walks and my fixation with her zipping up her coat. She didn't minimize my feelings, just "normalized" them. She likes me no matter what I feel about her!
That's HUGE for me! It makes me feel better about myself. I can be ME, whatever that means. It takes a lot of pressure off of me. She doesn't think I"m weird. I always knew that, but I FEEL it now.

I like Nicole's answer: Normal is just the setting on the dryer!
