CE - this freedom is such a large part of my quest in therapy! Thanks for spelling it out with such great clarity.

I wish you would not say, however, that you probably don't remember T's response because you were not ready. It's possible she didn't say anything, because you were not done talking and it's something she could say a lot about.
Or if she did reply, and you just can't recall it, maybe because what you said (about what you would be free of, if you could) took a lot of energy for you to speak aloud, and you were focused on getting it out, getting it out right.

You can go back and open this again - when you are ready - but please don't beat yourself up for where you are on the path. I do that myself, and there's no good can come out of it.
Thanks for this!
