I think maybe it would look like him shutting up and giving me space, making sympathetic noises, saying things like, "that sounds like that was really difficult." But I don't want to, like, give him a script and then have him read it word-for-word in session; I want him to genuinely connect with me and respond in a way that is both organic and helpful to me. So telling him exactly what to do doesn't feel like the right thing, ya know?

Yeah I can use the Headspace app for meditations; I just liked the online community of work peeps for solidarity.

Also I'm just mad at everything right now.
It's okay to be angry. I spent the whole morning saying I hate everybody.

I highlighted the bit above that stood out for me.It makes sense to want that and it brings up the image of a home- especially with everything that's going on.

When do you see him next? Have yo increased your session number or are you still on one a week?
