Dear New T,

I think I just realized that you really don't know me, since we have only met like 6 times. I think I get what kind of T you are, which relaxes me and I feel supported, but I don't know if you know who I am at all, which I worry about. Esp the idea of mirroring...because I know I tend to do it. And if I do it, will you get that but also know it's reflecting a part of myself and see it as such...and not reject that part of me. I don't want to say anything wrong. I am SO tired of being terrified of boundaries and having them drilled into my head by my ex-T when I have always, ALWAYS been the "perfect student" in therapy. I want to be able to express myself and be me and if I mess up (I mean, say something stupid) have it be okay. I have to talk to you Tuesday. I know it will go okay...but I am having so many feelings about this that it's confusing to me and usually I have no issue clearly expressing myself...so this sucks.
