Back from my half-session with t. It was filled with sparkles, I must say. We talked a bit about my fairy tale and how in 4 pages it somehow manages to encompass the work that we've done together over the past 4+ years. She said she'd already read it twice, and asked me to read it out loud to her, and she got up and brought me the teddy bear and put it right next to me so I put my arm around the teddy bear and read it out loud. We giggled together over so many parts of it, that were SO me (like where the Princess "flung herself backward onto her bed in dramatic confusion, tears threatening to erupt from her eyes.") We talked about the letting go of my old story - about how I feel sorta like I'm standing on a boat, and the anchor is in the water preventing the boat from moving forward, and it's so big because I've fed it for so long, and I'm poised to cut the rope and let the anchor fall.... so interesting... that I feel this current work like it's an alive thing moving through my entire body, it's not just up in my head, now I just gotta cut the rope.... and I'm going to a ceremony of releasing and clearing this weekend with my drumming group, so that's where it's going to happen... t said at one point that she has several pictures in her mind throughout my story that need illustrations haha if I could paint, I know what I would paint.... ! Anyway it was a wonderful session. I told her the other reason I wanted to come today is because I've come in there so many times where I couldn't talk, or I just sat there and bawled, or complained, but I really wanted to bring something GOOD in there for once, because I feel like she deserves that after walking with me through all the bad stuff. Boy, if I thought 50 minute sessions went by fast, 30 minutes really flies by.... and then on my way out she gave me a hug, didn't even ask this time it just naturally happened and I loved that too. Now I need to get my laundry started.... happy Saturday couch.
