I have a few objects T has given me, and they are very special. I think my problem is that I expect too much from T. She said she loves me and will feel that way forever. I email her how wonderful I feel after that session and she doesn't reply right away. I have to remind her. She emails and apologizes, and writes that she's glad I feel wonderful. In my email I asked if at some level she feels good that I love her. She didn't answer that part.
I wanted her to agree that it was special to share love. Instead, I feel a little foolish. I know she will probably say otherwise, but it deflates my good feeling when she doesn't respond the way she did in the session. I felt her email wasn't sincere. I wish she would have said something like "yes, we shared something special in the session. I felt it too." I know I'm expecting too much from T. She's not the best writer but sometimes she gets it right. I need to pay attention to her feelings, not her words in an email.
