It was kinda my way of saying I think of this outside of session and what you say is part of my life.
I find the idea of closeness with a professional icky. Really hard. Sometimes we are very out of time with one another but sometimes the fact it's so hard when it works nicely it feels extra special.
Currently I am preparing for both doing deeper work as well as leaving in a few months so I think the issue with closeness will be interesting in the weeks and months to come
I keep rereading this because I could have written this myself, only you’ve said it much better than I could have.

I’m both intrigued and mortified by those who can let out their strong positive feelings towards their T in an unfiltered way. I wonder what that must be like. It would really be an alternate universe for me.
