I never thought of it like that. Yeah, it was kinda nice. Would have been nicer if he threw his arms around me. But this was nice, too.

its important that they like the healthy parts of us too, huh. sounds like a great session. i'm really proud of you for telling him some really hard stuff.

Hey, thanks... and yea, that is important. Sometimes in the face of all the pathological stuff, the healthy part seems unimportant and forgotten. The healthy part is influenced by my moods, intensity, extremes, humor, sarcasm, etc.... and it is, in essence, the core of me. And T wants to talk to that part. It makes it seem much more equal when we can operate on that level, not so much powerful therapist and patient.
