Dear MC,
I've had a rough week (well, you know that, since I told you about it in probably more detail than necessary). Just seeing you and talking to you--even though this wasn't a particularly intense session and we spent lots of time just joking around--made me feel so much better.

Also, I'm glad you shake my hand at the end of each session (and the beginning sometimes, like this time). People talk a lot about touch in therapy on here, and shaking hands seems so incredibly minor compared to some of what's discussed. But it's still nice to have the physical contact, however brief, to go with the emotional part. (Though sometimes I wish it could be a hug, but I'm pretty sure that's one of your boundaries that you wouldn't cross.)
