So you beaned him... You also told him you love him. I know it is not a trade off but I am sure that touched his heart. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I sure hope that is what he took from it. I was firm but I never yelled or freaked out. It is the first time I've ever done this with him and I'm thinking shock was more the feeling...

I think that T's challenge us and I think it is o.k. that we challenge them on occasion. You released to more than your T... you released and shared alot of your past in that visit. He, on some level, knows this. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Oh yes, I'm thinking he cursing my dad out tonight...<giggle>

You have given him your heart... the good and the difficult part. You gave him your insides....almost I think down to your toes. This is actually ... if one thinks of it...from you who has such difficulties with this... a major compliment to him... oddly enough.
Trust me, if I didn't love him and be attached as I am, I would've have never gotten as far as I have. So you are right, that is a compliment to him <making a note for next week></font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>

Yes, he conveyed this quite strongly this morning.

I think that you might be able to back off the insurance issue...but there are some connections I think there that might need to be persued. I do not know. You and your T would know better. </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I will back off the insurance discussion. The real issue now is how I perceived him feeling, translated it, obsessed over it and reacted to it.
</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
Do you know how old your T is and how long he has been in practice? This insurance issue should not be a new issue for him and the emotions connected are not unusual. Now... getting them out of YOU .. that might have surprised him. ?

I'm not sure about his age. I am thinking early 40's? He mentioned once that in 1986 he was working on his grad degree. I was 16 at that time and I am 37...
I think you are on to something about him being surprised. It took me a year and almost four months to get to this point with him today...surprise or shock I'm thinking.
