My t just gave me her new home address yesterday. She's going to be working out of a home office now that she's moved. I already had known she was going to work out of her house once she moved, but was still surprised when she gave me that address instead of a po box or something to mail my checks to for our phone sessions.
But I'm glad she did! I'm glad because after she did, a couple hours after we got off the phone, I realized something that proved to me once and for all (not that I really needed any more proof than how good I feel and how well I am handling life in general now) that I'm winding down my therapy at the right time: 1) I don't feel the need to do anything with the information other than mail her the checks and 2) I'm not a bit jealous of her new clients that she takes on being able to go to her house.
that 2nd one really surprised me. When she first told me she'd be seeing clients in her home office, I kept expecting to get madly jealous of said future clients (based on how I used to feel seeing the clipboard with a new patient sheet on the desk in her waiting room, i used to want to rip the paper and stomp it into the floor and say no my T! ha.) But I haven't felt like that now. All I feel is happy that she'll be able to help people like me in a new city! Amazing ain't it?
did i ever say how amazing my t is that she could help me get to the place I'm at now?!
