Dear T,
Today's session affected me more than it may have seemed. I wasn't all weepy like Monday. But we discussed some intense stuff, like the teacher, what happened freshman year of college.... You apologized for bringing the one thing up, but it clearly ties in. Maybe we need to process all of that more. Maybe some of that is the key to what's going on with me now. With ex-MC, the pandemic, everything. Like, it's all coming to the surface now. Maybe this is the time to process it, when it's raw?
And thanks for confirming that you're OK with my attachment to you, that you feel I've been respectful of your boundaries. We've come a long way from "creepy." And your use of "us" to address some of that felt nice. Felt less clinical. I mean, I know it's a professional relationship, but you also don't have to keep beating me over the head with it. It's nice when you can just refer to it more as a relationship. Because that's what it is.
Love you,
LT
