Thank you. I sometimes have a hard time expressing what I need, with T or even just with friends. Telling her that I need to work on that is hard, it's scary, I don't want to seem weak or vulnerable. But I know you are right. I see her in a week, maybe I'll try writing it down, so I can just hand it to her...
