Dear T,
So.....I do appreciate the reassurance tonight. I don't appreciate the black and white thinking thing. I do appreciate you being open to my feedback. I don't appreciate the lack of structure. I do appreciate you bringing me back when I had started to drift away. I don't appreciate you basically admitting you wrap up your feelings in pleasantries to go easy on me

I do appreciate you at least contemplating my request for you to maybe be a little more real about how you feel when appropriate, as I don't want your frustration to come out indirectly or all at once. I don't appreciate how you cover your mouth when I bring up a point that I truly believe we both know what I'm referring to, but you want to hide your response. I do appreciate your light response to my jokey comment at the end of the session. I BOTH do and don't appreciate you giving me notice ahead of time re: your time off.
Overall, today's session was positive with some things that could've been better, but I definitely can see how it could've been worse. And thanks for connecting with me.
So is that "gray" enough for you?
