I still remember the time my T told me about her next time going away and when I left after the session, I saw her car and wanted to slash her tires :-) That is so unlike me that it made me laugh and I instantly realized where the feeling had come from. Another time I was imagining a switchblade which gave me pause and again, I realized my T had told me she was going away earlier that week.

I would latch onto her saying that she doesn't feel they are strangers anymore; have you ever had construction for a long time? My husband and I are having it now; it has been a YEAR and yes, George and his son Joe (and son-in-law, Timmy :-) are almost like friends; my husband is going to make them a steak dinner out on the new deck when the job's finished, etc. It is very awkward at first but over time, you get to know the people. So, I bet you are still similar to T.
