I know I'm not very well known on here yet, and I'm new to this group in general.... but I really have appreciated all of the input so far, both from my posts, and posts of other people. Wysteria, I feel I've found a great T.... I'd never gone "shopping" for one before, and I just started looking them up. She was convenient, and just her tone within her Emails made me feel like she was "the one." I am amazed that she is willing to take me on. I have a great deal of baggage that has not been dealt with.

It's scaring me to go back so far, and there are some things I find I have to Email her to tell her, and she's open to that. In fact, I Emailed her this afternoon in one of my overwhelming panic modes...and she wrote me very calmly back. And, she suggested the idea of coming in more often for a bit. She thought that would be a good idea. I do too. I'm nervous about going in, and sometimes don't want to, but I think she may be my key to becoming a person I'm comfortable and happy with. In just a few sessions, she has taught me things about myself that I didn't know. Some, I didn't even agree at first, but once I thought about it after the fact, I realized she's right. I believe her to be very wise and compassionate, and I intend to take this seriously. I may not feel like I can be fixed, but as long as she doesn't give up on me, I won't give up on my faith in her. And, I really appreciate the hug after every session. It's a nice, gentle closing to something that has been hard for me to do. Especially now, I think it would be beneficial to see her more often..... simply because my life gets stressful this time of year anyway, and I have more time and flexibility.

I have to say, Wysteria, I have enjoyed your posts.

One thing I have found that I wish we could see on these boards....male/female and general age range. There are just some posts where I really wonder.... (BTW, I'm female and 40-ish.)
