I had a really meaningful session today. Just got home a little bit ago and I almost want to go to bed early so I can just be in the feelings and not have to deal with 'real life' until tomorrow. I showed her a couple of the old pictures my brother sent me, then asked her the question that I wanted to ask even though I cried through it, and we had a good discussion around it, and I did a sand tray, and we talked some more and she told me something about the movie Avatar (which I haven't seen but am now going to watch it) she told me about these characters in the movie who in their society or whatever they don't say "I love you", they look in each other's eyes and say "I see you." Anyway we talked some more and then as we were wrapping up I said thank you for letting me say that stuff I cried about and not taking it in a bad way. And she looked at me and said "Well, I see you." That was quite a powerful moment.
