Melissa: You sound so much calmer and positive!

I'm glad that you like your new T and that you're working on some skills and moving forward! It's great to hear and I'm proud of you!

I get how it would seem strange to be making changes. I've had my own moments of strangeness lately with my T (twice now I've been brave enough to share how something he's said upset me... which is a terrifying experience for me. And twice now he's apologized and is sincere about it. I don't think I've ever been apologized to when I've been upset. I don't really know how to handle that. It's strange.) I think the strange/uncomfortable sort of feelings means that we're actually going outside of our comfort zones towards something more healthy (because let's face it, our comfort zones aren't healthy for us!).

I hope you'll keep us posted
