The title of your post got my attention right away because "just talk" is the phrase I probably hear the most from my T.

Don't they realize how hard that is??

That's great that you were able to let go and just talk.

Sometimes we grow up with a very narrow vision because we were brought up with and idea of what something "should" be. That now we are "allowed" to feel other ways.

Also, congratulations on choosing a healthy coping mechanism over the weekend.
