Thanks sister, Lemon, and pinksoil.

You know, the bottom line is, I just love therapy. Yes, it is really helping me, but it's intellectually interesting and emotionally satisfying too. Very few things seem to provide that combination. Of course, it can also be emotionally draining and frustrating as h*ll sometimes, but as with childbirth, you tend to forget those times when they are in the distant past--i.e. one week.

I had a really nice surprise tonight--an e-mail from my T! Based on our session Tuesday night, I had an action plan for moving forward, and he learned I had indeed taken the first step. So I got a short "pat on the back" e-mail. Wow. How can something so simple lift one's spirits so?
