Dear R,
I stood up for myself today...learning to exercise my boundaries. L wanted to know how our most recent session went, and I said I didn't want to go into it. (Couldn't think of a tactful way out of it otherwise - we were talking about her, after all.)
I'm feeling anxious about our next session on Thursday. 'I'm searching for a painless way to do this [express my emotions], and I don't think there is one.' Turning to face it is going to be excruciating, I know. Please keep me safe, but don't let me run away, OK?
Thank you for proving that I can trust you.
