Hi Talulah--No, I haven't seen my T since then. We had to skip a week, but will meet again next week. Two weeks seems to stretch forever....

I feel I will be better able to respond to him now after thinking about it and reading people's responses here. When he turns that affirmative force on me like that, it's almost as if a strong wind is blowing and I have to brace or I'll be blown away. I can do it.

sidony--loved your comments. Yes, I've been there as you described, with pushing away the affection at first. I don't do it anymore, and am getting closer to being able to respond in kind. I am glad you love your therapy. Me too.
