What I think I'm feeling is trust. I've been journalling about this good feeling I have been able to keep. So often this is a transition from intense anxiety to depression and I wanted to capture this period before that happened. But it doesn't seem like that's what it is. It's still with me and it's peaceful.
I believe the last couple of sessions and a phone call from T when I hadn't asked for one, as well as her kind reassurance in that call, have all allowed me to let go of something. Not yet sure exactly what yet.
I think I am trusting the trust. It feels real to me now. It began with a leap of faith after the holiday break. I decided to trust T and to be more forthcoming in session. Therapy changed and deepened but it is just now that I'm feeling that it's real and i can trust it and T.
I don't have to suffer crises alone, and a crisis won't send me over the edge. That in itself is so relieving.
I like where I am and it's been a long time since I've been able to say that.
Of course, the winds shift, the pendulum swings... so who knows what tomorrow brings. But for today I will bask in it.
