The process continues to amaze me and those two back to back sessions were a little insight into understanding how things can open up and close back down with the support and space you and I have created. I can see and feel the benefits of being willing to face the things that are difficult and causes me stress and pain. This is where the years pay off, the trust that things will work out, the being able to strip off the peel and the b.s. covering up the real issue and just get to it.

But I also think that had you not offered a session the next day and we'd just proceeded to the next session scheduled ahead for three weeks, the opportunity to get to that stronger, more peaceful place would have been lost. Thank you for offering that. It's been a long time since I asked for more than a regular session each week or every other week per the last year. For you to offer what I never would have asked for myself-- that is what made all the difference.

I think the clarity that I've coming closer to, how things make more sense to me now, how I'm able to maneuver through the tough things in life without henny-pennying it or swinging to the opposite of numbing and stoicism, is where the last years have very much mattered. I like being able to weather the things that irritate me and/or hurt or feel stressful in a way that acknowledges them but doesn't give them any real power to dethrone me or what I'm trying to accomplish. I know what I want for myself and I see it unfolding gradually in front of me. Nothing is in my way.
