((Sunny))

You are so strong. I admire your persistence in bringing yourself back to center. Working through the anger of someone who can derail you the way this guy has is a huge accomplishment. I have dealt with this as well, (although not quite as successfully as you) and, to say the least, it is not fun! Stay the course. You're doing great.

(Well, I wouldn't want a second session with me either.)

Why not? T can be there for both the pretty and ugly parts of us!

Maybe I don't need anymore sessions for a while. Maybe I just need to listen to music and read poetry.

I have had those feelings as well. Sometimes it almost feels like my inner self requires a need to retreat, regroup and refresh. But then I wonder--would connecting with T in this very moment of seeking solitude help me to work through something that has been simmering for a while, or something that came up in-session that I don't feel like dealing with? I think of Pema Chodron's book, "When Things Fall Apart" and she talks about going directly into the fear.

Good luck Sunny, you have so much going on. I think you are very brave!
