Dear T,
Also, yesterday, it felt like you were talking to me as "D," not as Dr. T. You were pretty open about some things, like in how all the stuff going on right now is affecting you. And I think I really needed that yesterday. It helped with my perspective on some things. But it also felt like you really understood. So, thanks for being open like that. I know most of the time you strive to be in Dr. T mode, but these are very strange times.


I am sort of wondering about the purpose of your comment on how it's like a battle between my mental health needs and my finances at times. Not so much the fact that you mentioned it, but the fact that you said "I was going to wait until after the election to say this, but..." Did you think it might stress me out or upset me for you to say it? Because I feel it's the truth. But also, like I said, it's not just about finances, it's also my feeling I shouldn't need you/therapy as much as I do. So that part of me is at war with the other part as well. Suppose I'll try to get back to twice a week soon. At least now I have through this month to do so, with your extending the rate reduction.

Love,
LT
