Dear T,
As much as I wouldn't have wanted to ruin your weekend with my email...there is part of me that would want you to be affected by it in some way. To be concerned about me, something like that. And would want other people in my life affected in some way by similar things, too. I know that's probably natural, but it feels wrong in a way? And I do appreciate that you said you were concerned about how I'd react to the email after you sent it, for fear it had been too blunt regarding my mom. But I think it's what I needed to hear. And I'm used to your bluntness by now! Like I said, though, I had this momentary fear after reading the line "I hope this doesn't sound cold," that it might have been about me (or the therapeutic relationship?). So was relieved that it wasn't.

I feel like I should have been more emotional in session today. But I was also a bit removed from Friday and Saturday. Plus I've found that I tend to be a bit more distanced when there's been a break in sessions, even though this was a pretty short one. Like I'm protecting myself or something. I'll likely be back to my weepy session self Wednesday.
Love,
LT
