In the eight years I had with ex-therapist, there were many similar times. He was blown away and thrilled when I would tell him how something so little helped so much. It also helped to show him that most every word can mean something...

kimmy, thanks, I need to be sure and tell T about this next week. It must indeed be very gratifying for the T's to hear us report back to them on the successes and healing they helped us achieve. It's a way I can say thanks to my guy, who is so great.

The cool thing is that, there were just as many times for ex-t as there was for me. He would stop the convo many times to explain how something I'd just said gave him a way to "click" my experience in his understanding.

Very cool. At my last session we also had such an instance. I said something to him near the start of the session that kind of blew him away and made him pause. I myself didn't think it was that significant. He didn't say anything but returned to it near the end of our session and told me how it had affected him.

ECHOES, that is fantastic RE your insights into your brother and how you have reconnected with him.
