Dear MC,
Sorry for that e-mail. Music, particularly live music, has such an intense effect on me. It stirs up all kinds of emotions. I don't know why I associate a couple of those songs with you, but I just do. And hearing them live just dredged up these feelings in me that I couldn't control. I mean, I was crying at one point during the show and then when I was leaving. (Maybe people just thought I was really happy to see the band?)
Please just respond with the two words I'm asking for. And if you could not bring it up in session or make it a big thing, that would be good, too.
And I know, maybe it could seem to conflict with my thinking the transference is fading. But I think love and transference are different things--the transference could completely go away, and I could still love you.
And again, I get that you can't reciprocate that feeling (and even if you did...you couldn't say it, even though ex-T kind of did). Just confirm that it's OK that I feel that way.
Really, just respond "It's OK" (or perhaps "It's OK, LT.) That's all I want.
Love (obviously),
LT
