Thank you so much for the support! I really am very appreciative. I feel a desire to finally fill this hole and kind of close the loop on this difficult emotional process I've gone through for years with different people. Of course that's easier said than done! I understand that it's a long process (that has already been pretty long) but the only way to get through it is to keep pushing through. A big takeaway for me is to really talk about all the feelings that come up, even if they make my T really uncomfortable. And even if they make me uncomfortable, embarrassed, sad.

It's so encouraging to know that other people have gone through this and have been able to get to the other side or at least get to a place where these feelings are easier to experience. THAT really will really help motivate me to keep talking this through. Thank you!
