Dear FM,

You told me on Monday at Session that you would be away from 5:00 A.M. until whenever, you - didn't know how late you be returning. You told me this, because you have no cell phone if I need you, and you didn't want me to worry if I tried to reach you and you did not respond - like when a baby's mom goes away and he/she gets frantic. We both knew I would be okay. Though I didn't need you, thank you for caring for me like that. We're growing me up! It's happening so quickly, probably because of unlimited contact with you: unlimited sessions, emails, and phone calls. I thought you were joking when you said you were available 24/7. You weren't kidding. I'm glad I'm not your first adult client you've done attachment therapy with, and you've had past success.

I only sent two emails today, one about group to whine about being set off, and the other about going home for the holidays. I knew you were home when I got your first email response, "How nice that it is a choice - and as you know, it is not whether you go, but whether you go based on free choice. Good job." Thanks for helping me understand what free choice means. I used it when I called group leader this evening.

I'm glad we got to shoot the breeze in my first phone call. I love when we laugh and talk together, and I always love hearing your laugh, it brings me joy. I would hate it if we could only talk on the phone if I was in crisis. That must be very heavy load for a therapist to bare, only getting calls when clients are in dire straits. Your way makes since to me. In fact, it's very rear that I'm in crisis these days, and I know your happy for me. I'm happy for me,too.

Thanks for taking my second call about client internet stalking and setting me straight.

I will see you on Thursday and Sat for our next sessions. And...thank you for being there in between , every which way you can. As you have told me several times, not all clients need the exact same treatment from their therapist. And, you are giving me what I need. And, I am glad to know all your clients are welcome to email, and call.

I hope you see this.

Love you,

GTGT
