Dear MC,
Kinda nervous to talk to you tomorrow after dumping all the paternal transference stuff in the e-mails... and then I wonder whether H and I should talk about our issues instead... but then I'm pretty sure my paternal needs affect my relationship with H and, especially, my daughter, so I think we need to talk about them. Like...if my inner child doesn't feel safe, how am I able to convince my daughter that she's safe? Your super-caring voice seems to speak directly to my inner child. Can you just tell her that everything is OK? That she's safe? And that now she needs to help daughter feel OK and safe? It might take more than one session to do that. And maybe I need a recording of you saying that to help it sink in. But that seems kinda weird. So maybe if you could just say it a couple sessions in a row? Because I think that super-caring voice of yours can have more positive, healing effects on me than anything else. It's like your voice taps into my soul...

So, thanks, and love you,
LT
