In regards to my two previous posts, Going Dancing With T, I talked to T and here is what she told me, word for word.
Ok so how about I give you the rundown of the past two weeks from my perspective and then you can give me your perspective. Then we can see if there is a misunderstanding that we need to process through.

I'm gonna start with the fact you've been asking me for awhile to come see you at the horse barn. As part of any counseling process if a client is making great progress the counselor can extend some measure of affirmation. I decided your request for me to come visit the barn was a very acceptable affirmation. Of course, it did get rushed a bit given the crazy circumstances. So there's that.

You and I have been discussing the need for more socialization for awhile. In the past few months you've been making attempts at that. Last week we were brainstorming ideas when I mentioned ballroom dance. I provided you info about some upcoming events and encouraged you to give it a try. You decided to try it but didn't know where it was so I offered a ride. Now I wouldn't have offered you a ride to somewhere I wasn't already going.

We then had the discussion about the concert in June. I encouraged you to go because should be fun.

You then asked me if I went to celebration because of my knowing Melinda. You said you've wanted to try it sometime. I encouraged you to give it a try and mentioned my interpreting times.

So basically, you've expressed interest in things and I've encouraged you to pursue those and offered my support for those. I've made sure to let you know I won't hold your hand or let you become dependent on me. I'm sure you're not because you've been planning to do those things on your own or with a friend. We live in a small community so to think we both could pursue the same interest and not see each other would be unrealistic.
