1. Build tolerance for difficult emotions.
2. Work on expressing needs without fear/shame.
3. Continue to explore and process trauma.
Those are the ones we have discussed.
On a personal level, I would also like to develop a sense of safety that endures beyond that hour a week. I would like to be able to make eye contact with her when talking about difficult stuff, because not being able to look at her makes me feel alone.
