Dear T,
I like that I now have a piece of paper with your handwriting on it (which is much more legible than you say!) And it's not just some random thing, like the date of my next session, but some of my deepest feelings and needs going back to childhood. It's like...I don't know, your writing them down gives a voice to them or something. Like it gives them legitimacy, meaning. Like I'm dictating my story to you and you're putting it to paper. I think I need to talk about what that means with you, why it seems to be affecting me this way. I've written plenty of things about myself on paper; so why does it mean something more when you do? Maybe it's because you were interpreting what I was saying and writing it down, making sense of it, making a story (even if it's part of an exercise in a workbook). And I assume there's some meaning that my eyes keep going to certain words/phrases...
Looking forward to discussing this with you on Thursday,
LT
