Well, today's session ended up being pretty intense. And I shared something I hadn't really intended to today, how I'd had the thought of "I love you" cross through my head when I left the other day. And I said not romantically, more like I just felt really appreciative of what he'd given me that day. That it was something I'd needed. Then I started sobbing with my hands over my eyes and said, "Please don't make me leave..." (I feel like I could have been a training video for "clients with anxious/preoccupied attachment"). He said he wouldn't and was really understanding about all of it. Including that I pulled the word "love" because there are only so many words to describe that feeling. That it was probably about his having given me something I'd needed that day. When we were wrapping up, he said he imagined we weren't done talking about the "I love you" thought bubble. I said probably not, and that I liked the idea of it being a cartoon thing popping up above my head. He made a "poof!" sound and smiled. I said I'd probably stress about it until I see him Tuesday.


As I was leaving, as he shook my hand, he told me he hoped I could have a good weekend and that i wouldn't stress about things too much. That "all is well here." I said I'd do my best. He did give me a "take care," too.

There was a lot more in that session, too--might write it up later.
