Hey couch! Got home from t a little bit ago. We had a good talk. I did start by telling her I thought I needed to ask myself a question while I was sitting there - and I asked it out loud "Why can't I leave you alone between sessions?" She laughed a little (actually so did I) and we talked about it some. A good discussion resulting in me deciding I want to go back to weekly for awhile. It's like, I'm finally at the point (after 4+ years) where I am talking about whatever without stopping myself out of embarrassment. It has taken a long time to get here. I mean, I've always been able to talk to her eventually, with a ton of hemming and hawing and making her guess and handing her writing, but there had been that one last barrier to letting myself just be in the emotional intimacy of the space, and now I'm not stopping myself from saying things anymore. We talked about a couple other things too, it wasn't a deep session like sometimes they are, but one of those lighter, feel-good kind where I walk out feeling happy. Now I'm tackling my laundry....

Happy Saturday, couch!
