Like LT's and SalingerEsme's responses to me
here
I was feeling vulnerable and insecure and ashamed about having been vulnerable. I was also feeling ashamed for just having really intense feelings about the session. The responses made me feel heard and empathized with. I often emotionally "crash" after a session and feel raw and vulnerable and isolated, and so the shared connection helped. I felt less stupid and less alone with these intense feelings.
