Hi R,

I'm hoping you will acknowledge the email I sent on Thursday before we meet for this week's session, as I really don't want to have to rehash the entire triggering experience. I'm not looking for sympathy, but empathy appears to be your strong suit. If anything, the experience last Thursday has brought everything into sharp relief....it's imperative that I can stumble my way through a conversation with you about exactly what happened, because standing in the middle of the supermarket trying to compose myself is not my favourite way to spend my time. I was falling apart on the inside, but I wasn't going to say anything. (You knew that anyway, right?) 'I can't make this about me...' has been a predominant thought for too long.

In the garden centre, I felt the pain in my chest, stumbled, breathed through it, and was fine. This has hung around, because it brought everything back up. I'm not good at sitting on the box to keep it closed.

Two more sleeps...but please get back to me before then.
