Had an AWESOME therapy session today.
I typed up a longish letter to my therapist to give her more background information about me. Then I printed it out and handed it to her! (I've only seen her for about 4 or 5 sessions, so she never knew much about me.)
In the letter, I detailed about my horrific childhood and adolescent years. She basically said my parents were assholes for neglecting me and my mental illnesses. She told me she was sorry my parents did this to me. She said it's not right for a parent to ignore any kind of emotional dysregulation in their child, especially since my emotional dysregulation was extreme.
But anyway, I was soooo nervous handing her this letter! I felt awkward! I didn't know what she was going to think! But everything ended up okay.
