Something I need to post for my own peace of mind. I was distressed to read Lemoncake's session and I want to put it right. And of course I can't. But here goes...

Some better lines for Lemoncake's T:

"You're in pain. You tell me you're in pain and I can see you're in pain. I do get that."

"You say you're not angry with me. But you say you want me to feel pain. That sounds very much like anger to me. It's OK for you to be angry with me and it would make sense for you to be angry, since you think I've abandoned you."

"There are reasons why I do what I do. But we're not going to talk about that just yet. I want to focus on what you felt; what you feel now; what you wanted me to do; what you want me to do now."

"How do you feel about me? Don't spare my feelings. Give it to me straight. It's important for you to say it. It's important for me to hear it."

"I'm here for you now. I'll be here for you at our next session. I'm hearing you want more. I can't see you more often. But I can teach you ways to cope with my absence. And when we're together, let's make the best possible use of every minute."
