I like this idea, please no judging my T and I have a very unique relationship.

Dear EM,

I wish I could tell you how much I do love you. I would love to have you over for family affairs and to go shopping with you, buying shoes and purses. Laughing and eating too many cookies and drinking too many Diet Cokes. I wish I could tell you that my husband thinks you're a wonderful person as well. There are so many things I wish I could say and/or do but I need to keep my professional mode on right now, because I love you and I want you to be healthy. I'm sad for the day that will eventually come when we are no longer therapist/client, it won't be as close or the same. It will be different but I promise we'll always be in each others lives from here forward. Especially since we sit in the same row at the ball games.

I love you, EM. Please don't ever doubt that. I'll always be here for you, but right now I have to stay strong and firm, for you. I only do this because I care deeply and am emotionally invested in you. I don't look forward to your sessions because you are a paycheck - I look forward to them because it's you. I have gotten to know you and I wish all those people that ruined your outlook on yourself would burn in hell, and that time will come so right now my job is to get your better so you can smile and laugh more and enjoy life the way it's meant to be.

Love,

T
