I'm soo glad that you liked my present It was something small but i figured the best type of present was something that would be beneficial to both of us through the therapy process itself. And I was right! You had me beaming at how excited you were. Though also a bit scared because I know the coupon book is going to entail a lot of difficult things for me to face coming up. I just hope you go easy on me for a while. I'm very sensitive, you know this right?

I'm going to miss you for the next 2 weeks. I hate not seeing you, it breaks my routine. And you know full well how much I rely on routines. Bah. I'll make it...maybe I'll call you at least once between the two weeks. You told me I could, heck you encourage me to every week. I'm thankful for that- knowing that I can reach out and you'll be there. I need it, even if I don't use it. Knowing it's there is very helpful and reassuring.

I wish you would be able to understand my sensory processing disorder better. But I understand- it's not in the DSM, it's 'new', and it's unfamiliar. I'm hoping that I help educate you as time goes on. It's difficult for me to be this sensitive to the world around me. But I'm holding on and pushing through.

As time goes on Maybe I can talk to you about wanting a service dog. My bf is supportive now that he understands. I think you would be too- but I'm afraid you might not consider me to 'need' one even if it'd help me a lot. Maybe it's just the negativity speaking again and I should tell it to shut up.

For you, I'm going to try and fix my sleep schedule. I don't care if I'm sleeping normal hours or not- but you want me healthy physically and mentally/emotionally, so this is one step I have to take. I should just listen to you, I just can't help but be stubborn sometimes.

Thanks for a great session tonight, T. You make me smile! Especially when you said that compared to when I first met you to today, I've opened up a lot and let down some of those walls. and then you said that we'd continue to break them down! You're really encouraging. I'm almost scared!
