Thank you, Suzy. I appreciate your reply!

I was lucky in that I had a long correspondence with a person on another board who is educated as a therapist (doctorate of psychology) but does not practice. She agreed to talk to my new therapist and they did speak so it saved me a lot of talking, opening up there. And I had kept all of my correspondence with that person and copied it to a CD and she will review it. So, it is like writing something down to take in and I may do that from time to time.

Often, when I can't identify what's going on in my mind, I will write... it helps me to see what's going on. I don't know if that makes sense to you or not. It is how I realized last week that I was concerned that the therapist would leave me abruptly and that she wouldn't believe me. If I hadn't done some writing, I might not have realized that.

Thanks for your welcoming support!
