Thank you thank you

Congratulations, you survived [emoji4][emoji4]
It's been three weeks since I saw my t and another week till I see her. I thought I would miss her more but I don't. When I do miss her, I come here to post and read posts about other people, their ts and their therapy.
It helps me to sit with my feelings and to know that they will pass. They will also come back but when I sit with them and really feel them, it takes them longer to resurface. I read a book over Christmas about a woman in therapy and that helped me to feel connected to my t. It also triggered a lot too mind you!
I was tempted to contact my t several times because we left on a sour note before Christmas, so I wanted to give her a peace of my mind. I had to stop myself and say well she already knows all of this, so what's the point.
I find support in myself, to really support my feelings and to accept all of them. I miss t but I hate her. These are both conflicting but both true right now.
Do you have some good supports in your life right now?
