Hi Musing...

Glad you posted...sounds like things are going so very well and you have a very wise and compassionate T who is a great "fit" for you...
It is indeed vulnerable to tell one's story, but it is also healing as you have one to share the "load" of the memories and help you to interpret them or re-interpret them in a different light and importance.
Therapy can be life-changing at any age and I'm so very happy for you that you have started the process. Never be ashamed of your feelings and if you need to cry...let it out...don't hold it in. That is never helpful...
I love your honesty and open heart and open mind...they are wonderful gifts and will serve you very well...

PS...some therapists don't offer longer appts but may easily consider twice weekly appts when working really hard or getting to know you or when you need extra support. There is almost nothing they have not heard and you are always your best advocate. Just ask how you can get the extra support or time and let her guide you. She may or may not be able to do it or may not think it's in your best interest....she will tell you. Sounds like you have a gem of a therapist!!

Gentle hugs,
Wysteria Blue
