Dear T,

Thank you for today. You shook my hand as I apologized again (but this time in person) for my lame comment last session. Glad that was cleared up once and for all.

The best part of today's session was when you read out loud to me my note to myself. You didn't give me a hard time about reading it - no drawn out Q & A as to why I needed to have you do it. You just jumped right in. Hearing the words in your voice made it more real to me, and helped me feel the emotion that I wasn't able to hear when I read it myself. Your kind offer to record yourself reading it made it even nicer.

Then, when we moved on to why the note was weighing so heavily on me, I opened up to you about the topic even more than I had before. I felt like I could talk to you freely, and share many more details. (I'm not sharing in depth here b/c of triggers).

I didn't ask you to share positive comments about me this session because I felt like I got some of that through our discussion. You have such a kind and gentle way of reacting to what I'm saying. You even say things that make me feel like I have abilities that no one else sees - or acknowledged in me when I was younger. If I'd had the right set up at home, I could have gone down a totally different path in life.

I am very lucky to have found you, and you are currently my main beacon that keeps me from drifting off too far from solid ground.
