Thanks, sister and pinksoil.

It is still your pain, only he is feeling it right along with you so that it hurts him too. And he can feel your hurt so much. When it gets this deep and he is able to reach your feelings on that level, it can seem as though the two of you are are one.

Even though I have been in therapy for over a year with T, surprising things like this still happen. And I feel like "WTH just happened? what was that?" Sometimes I wish I had a Cliff notes to therapy. When something happened in session that was new or confusing, I would tell T, "hold on a minute," whip out my Cliff notes, and figure it out. I guess I could always just ask T, "what just happened?" (way too easy and logical), but wow, it was just so intense, I couldn't even think straight. Cliff notes seem easier.

I keep seeing his face, so filled with my pain.
