Not everyday will be good. And of course you will still miss him. But that's ok. You're dealing with it, not letting it deal with you.
I see so much progress there!

Yeah, I expect difficulties still. But it has been so relieving, like a balloon popped, it all came rushing out, and now it's peaceful inside.

This is huge, this is really wonderful.
When my therapist asked me what my goal was, I said that I hoped that one day I could be a therapist to myself and make her superfluous. I think that it's the main intention of therapy (or at least, I guess it should be) and you've done it!!
Congratulations!!  |
That's what my T said when I told her about how I was feeling, that the main point of therapy is to do exactly what I have been able to do with my mentor. Absorb the things he gave me and learn to give them to myself.

Thank you. The journey to this place has been tough. This realization has been great. Lots of tears, but years of relief and of peace.
