In some ways it's still kind of a beautiful mystery to me, as in how it actually works!! Aside from the how though I can see clearly that she is basically modeling for me the kind of relationship that I would like to have with myself. And one of the biggest indicators that my relationship with t has been healing for me, is that for the first time in my adult life, I am now making friends outside of work based on my personal interests. I found a group of like-minded folks on meetup.com, and about 8-9 months ago screwed up every last ounce of courage I could and went to a gathering and introduced myself, boy was that hard for me but I am so glad I did as I am really enjoying the time I spend with them. I hang out over there pretty much every weekend, sometimes after work during the week, and almost every time I go I meet someone new, and it's really been great being able to open up to people who think the same way I do. Never in a million years before meeting t3 would I have imagined this me could exist!!! And that's the honest truth.

And Mactastic thanks for this: "The relationship with my therapist is without a doubt one of the most complex, liberating, healing and powerful relationships I will ever know." this is exactly how I feel about my T. Thank you for putting it so eloquently.
