T: after a month break, it was really important to me to have a good session that followed my list of issues to discuss. It was so kind of you to offer me extra time and I can't even begin to say how thrilling it was to decline your offer, and stick to my plan of another scheduled session this week. Secretly, I think you just wanted to hear more about the obviously big changes I've made in my internal world. Listening to myself talk, just the way I could say certain things in certain ways with the depth I could tune into; connecting the past and the present, I get it. I understand some of the ways that a new relationship pushes me to my edge and sets the stage for the kind of growth I want and the kind of connection there is. Thank you for being such a good accompanist and not hitting the wrong notes or getting the beat wrong. After 10 years, I not only get a chance to see myself with some perspective, but you too. What you do is so understated and subtle but I do *see* you. Even when you have that goofy cheshire grin wonking across your face the whole session. Get a grip, T.
