Dear R,

Four more sleeps until our most significant session yet. For goodness' sake, don't let me balk, don't let me run away. The only way I'm going to excrete this is to talk about it properly, and to be honest, you're the only person I can do that with right now. I've become painfully aware of that over the last fortnight. I'm trying to be kind to myself, but half the time I don't know how. We have a shared responsibility to keep me safe, and I need to know that I'm going to be able to walk away from the session, but not end up beating myself up (figuratively) for what I didn't manage to say or do. (Both of those are possible...and we both know that.)

See you Thursday
