Dear T,
Good session today. But that one moment when I started crying again around the half hour mark when we were talking about my mom? I'm sure you assumed that was about my mom. But it was actually because I was looking at the couch in your office and suddenly really missing being there. (And even when I go back, I won't be able to sit on the couch for a while because of COVID, because it's too close to your chair--wonder if you'd maybe let me sit at the other end of the couch?).

But we were talking about an important thing, and it felt weird to suddenly be like "I miss your office." I'm guessing this is the case that we've talking about with the pandemic in general, where we're sort of (fingers crossed) nearing the home stretch toward vaccines (and then meeting in person again), so it feels like time is going extra slowly.

Also, I'm glad you didn't back-pedal at all on what you said in the email (and that you mentioned you took time to think about what to say to me in it), that you didn't appear to wince when I mentioned tearing up reading it, and that you were open to discussing why the "you're a good person" affected me like it did. I need to think on that more...along with lots of other things.


Love,
LT
