Dear Stringcheese,

What an awful experience to have with your T. You had the courage and trust to express your feelings about a very difficult subject to talk about. I applaud you for that. I hope you can continue to express your feelings. This is very important.

Please do go back to your T and ask for clarification. I sincerely hope that T didn't mean to endorse sui. Please assume for now that there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication. I hope you let us know how it goes.

I can see that Perna's comments struck a chord with you. In these forums you have to understand we are quite limited with this style of communication and we all read each other's words through our own life's filter. To me, Perna's comments have everything to do with Perna's life experience and nothing to do with your experience that day in the office with your T. I hope that makes sense.

People do care. Please keep talking.
