Dear T,
I'm glad you want to fully work through this...whatever it is with our relationship. It makes me feel like you really value me as a client. (Not in any way more than you value any other client, but still.) We've invested 3 years in this. This stuff may not be in your wheelhouse, but it seems like you really want to help me figure it out. You're trying to understand, even if we're not always speaking the same language. It means a lot. I also appreciate your little reassurance at the end.

Love,
LT
