mouse, I could really relate to that, and to what Talulah wrote too. It lets our T's do their job so much better if we can help them out. I think my T has been struggling a bit lately with how to help me move forward. He's been hinting at that for the last month or so (just spit it out, T!). I gave him a lot of new stuff in our session last time that has now allowed him to see a new path and approach to helping me. He was so excited! He was so grateful! I think he is eager to start down this path now. I think it's familiar to him and he has ideas about what has worked in the past for other clients in a similar situation. It was great to see him so upbeat. Made me feel upbeat too, like it's not hopeless after all, like maybe I can solve this problem. Sometimes I feel that our T's also need to be more direct in asking us for help on how to help us. If that makes sense...

Way to go, mouse!
