Yesterday I had my second session this week. The chairs seemed closer again, a phenomena I experienced once before. I left my measuring tape home this time so I couldn't check it on my bar graph. LOL

Seriously, though, I now believe that it's the emotional closeness I felt with T that made me feel a physical closeness.

It was a session that was steeped in difficult issues but the way we began the session contributed to the feelings of closeness. It was chilly in the room and T went and got an electric heater that he plugged in and said it was our fireplace.

The thought of sitting in front of a fireplace talking made me feel so cozy and close to him.

The feelings of closeness, of not being alone make it possible to begin to discuss the difficult stuff, and yeah, it was really really difficult. But he was right there with me the whole time.

In order to open our hearts, must we share our hearts?
