A snippet...
T: It's good to see you.
Me: I'd say it's good to be here, but that would be a lie. I don't want to be here. I didn't want to come today. That's usually when I most need to come.
T: (nods) Yeah.
Another snippet...
T: You're right. (Keeps talking a little.)
Me: Wait, will you go back and say that again?
T: (laughs) You're right. Now you can hear my voice in your head, saying you're right. Whenever you need it.
Me: Yes! (laughing) Wait, I'm not so sure that is a great idea. I'll just be right all over the place.
The end...
T: You didn't want to come, now you don't want to leave.
Me: I don't....Can I just curl up under this blanket and take a nap? I am so tired.
When I got to my car I was so completely overwhelmed by the idea of taking a nap that I started crying. When that cleared out, I realized...I am so lonely. It's exhausting.
I hate it when the work STARTS after a session. Bleah.
