So, OK, MC, maybe I'm a tiny bit nervous, even though I know I likely have no reason to be...(Hey, I said I'm making progress, not all the way there.) And you probably haven't even had a chance to read, let alone respond, to my e-mail yet. So, I'll chill...

Edited to add: OK, I don't think it's so much that I'm worried about rejection or anything. It's that I am still having all these feelings and longings and stuff, and I just want to be able to know you understand. Not that you aren't going to reject me. I just need to know that you understand. And that you can hold and contain those feelings. There's just so much there...and I feel like we probably shouldn't talk about it in session Monday, because we've managed to keep the past few sessions about the relationship between H and me (and D), rather than mostly about me. But I think I need to talk about it. So maybe what I want to hear is that you're there, you're listening, and you can hold/contain whatever thoughts and feelings that I need you to. But also that we can talk about it. Even though I know that's the case, I think maybe I need to hear it...

Love,
LT
