He said that it's important in therapy for me to experience the other "compartments" of my personality-- and to be able to be in those roles in session... then he said, "but sometimes I want to talk to the poet. I want to talk to you her about her reading and her workshops.... And then I want to ask her things about school."

I said, "You are interested in those things?"

He said, "Why wouldn't I be?" I said-- I just never realized you would be interested in the part that is just.... me.

I really loved that.

We talked for a few minutes about my poetry reading and then time was up.

I really liked that, pinksoil. I have felt a bit the same lately. A couple of sessions ago, I told my T about this course I was taking at the university and we talked a long time about it. He was really interested. He said as I left that next time he wanted to hear more about the course. I realized that usually when I see him, I am talking about crises and problems and feelings, etc. But never just normal stuff that shows I have some positive and functioning parts to my life too. And he wants to know those parts too. I guess I thought if you went to see a therapist, you had to talk just about your problems. But it can be therapeutic to talk about your successes too.

Pink, since you are uncertain about calling your T to see if he was the one who called, how about just sending him a brief text message?
