my T said it means "transitions" are hard for me. I was like wtf does that mean? he said, like when you were a kid, going to bed, leaving to go to school, transitioning from one activity to another. I was like, are you out of your mind? It was, get to bed RIGHT NOW. Get up RIGHT NOW. Leave for school RIGHT NOW. There was no one "welcoming" me home from school. WHAT transitions?? And then it was - oh, I get it... So now T gives me the transitions I never had, and never knew I was missing, with our own little caring hello and goodbye rituals. It's not a matter of stealing extra time, it's using your allotted time wisely. It's analysing why those last moments are always awful, and making them happy ones, and trying to hold on to that.
