Way to go on your new job, sister!

So glad you have connected again in therapy. Not connecting is so awful, isn't it? I don't connect with most people in my everyday life, the way I do with T when it is good, but yet I don't feel that lack so strongly with others. It's like once you've experienced it with your T, anything less seems, well, just plan unsatisfactory.

I sometimes think of therapists and how difficult it must be to sit there hour after hour and attempt to have that deep connection with person after person. They must get worn out.

Love the pink bathrobe dream!

That is great you know at least one thing you can do to make the interaction more authentic.

I think when we have a lot of stress in our lives, our defenses start to crumble, for example, the ability to compartmentalize. Best of luck to you and your son. (((hugs)))
