Thanks, Soliaree, ECHOES, confused, alex_k for comments. I am still processing this session, I think, so your comments help.

What is it like to get a hug from your T? Do you feel really safe? My T doesn't hug, so I was just wondering

It felt wonderful, not so much safe, but "right." In session, we had connected, shared, been human together... It seemed like the hug was the physical expression of our experience, and felt very "right." Like if someone asked us to act out what we had just experienced, we would most economically, simply demonstrate a hug.

I think it really is amazing what happened with the box. You were a significant part of that, with respect to how you interpreted that, with respect to how you have a basic trust in him such that you were able to accept his attempt to repair.

alex, I keep returning to the box. I think it was the turning point in the session. I was seeing it as this amazing "thing" that my T did to change the tide of the session, but based on what you wrote, I see that I had a role in that change too, in the way that I responded to his "box" overture/intervention. Thanks for helping me see that we were both involved in that.
