There isn't much to say about my session today. I had something specific to talk about and it seems like that's all I did. T basically told me I have to use radical acceptance. She told me one helpful statement at the end that was probably worth the session. Actually, a few things.

1. Things will change regarding my 1 year old grandson's attachment to the other grandma.
2. My daughter will always be my daughter no matter what. (That almost made me cry).
3. I'm so used to being negative that I think that way all of the time.
4. She doesn't think she's made mistakes with me, just changes.
5. She agreed she could have said the hand-holding and answering emails may not be "forever".

I noticed her hair was wet like she just washed it but I didn't comment about it. I like it that way. I didn't feel very connected to her though at the end she said "we're connected".

What I hate is that feeling like she's "nothing" to me. I said I needed her help before I started talking. I'm always looking for something dramatic in therapy but it hardly ever happens.

I have too much stuff going on in RL. The 90 minutes seemed like about 5.
