Dear T,
I know this was in the context of what felt different to both of us in last Thursday's session, but it means a lot to know you generally find me engaging and that sessions go by quickly for you. And I'm glad I was able to express some of the child abandonment feelings about your going away. Sharing the thoughts of "Don't leave me" was really scary, but you seemed to just accept it. And how you said I don't need to explain to you that I know you deserve vacation and stuff like that because it's like taking care of your feelings. It helps to know that it's OK if I miss you. I mean, I know, as I said, that it's really about it being OK with *me*, not with *you*, but today's discussion made me feel better about all that. Hopefully I can let myself feel the connection Thursday, too.
Love,
LT
