Hi HH. I think you have made huge progress in your session yesterday and I think you have a lot of positives to take forward. I think you are amazingly brave to bring this up with your T and to work through your feelings. Well done HH. Bullet points would be a great way to focus on the priorities for upcoming sessions.

I dont know how to address the physical side of things. I mentioned yesterday that I never received hugs from my parents - not growing up or now - and now I am a mother it is raising lots of emotion. I was hoping that she might ask if I would like a hug but she didnt. She just clarified my comment about nor receiving hugs and I confirmed. It was really awkward! She has never touched me (ive been seeing her for a year) and I would love some form of physical touch or a hug. So, any advice on how to ask would be much appreciated! I am just terrified she say no and i will feel rejected (as usual).

Well done HH for sharing & updating us on your session. I too have just been forced to elave a job and am going through the motions of applying for new posts. I too am struggling with depression and feelings of total worthlessness which isnt helped by a group of toxic friends, an unsupportive partner and family. I feel I get more support from you guys here than anywhere at the moment. So thank you. xx
