I just had this experience for the first time just last Thursday. I've fought so hard for months to keep my emotions in check....just wasn't ready to let loose. Lately, it's come a lot easier, almost too easy. I spent the entire session not looking at my T, really not talking much to her except to answer questions. I didn't want to be there that day. But, I'd been crying through much of the session, just not wanting her to see. About 5 minutes before the session was over, she came over and sat right next to me, put her arms around me, and just held me. Rubbed my back, played with my hair, she helped me feel like I wasn't in this world alone. I could hear her heartbeat through her chest, and just that alone I found extremely comforting. I have a *thing* about hearing peoples' heartbeats, but she was the LAST one who's heart I thought I'd ever hear. My heart races so much, it's nice to hear a calming heart once in awhile. So, I truly benefited from that. I see her again Monday (twice a week).
