I think I am beginning to understand what you were saying yesterday about my Mom. You've never met her of course except through what I've told you, but I think you're spot on. I hadn't thought of that before. But it makes a lot of sense. And I don't have to do anything with it other than know (and remember) it, which is helping me in the department of not caring so much about her disapproval of my moving. This work with my negative animus is difficult and a little confusing but it's good too. I ordered that book you recommended. Couldn't find it at the library. It's not on kindle so I have to wait for the actual book to get here but from the description, I think you're right, it will be helpful for me to read. The 2nd one, not the robert johnson one. I have already forgotten the title.

It's weird, L. Sometimes I feel like I would like to come twice a week and really deep-dive into this animus stuff. How fascinating it all is. But then, other times I'm wanting to work on my dreams myself and read that book and learn and absorb and have a couple weeks off from therapy. It's fantasy anyway coming more often because I can't afford that and h would have a fit. I'm not going to stop weekly just yet, but at some point I think I'm going to want to talk about reducing sessions again. Those 'winds of change' have blown through my life and taken with them things I no longer need, that no longer serve me, and I'm feeling good. Our shamanic work yesterday helped me let go of a couple of things that I've been needing to let go of and I woke up this morning feeling happy and free. Today I am finally allowing myself to be excited and happy about my new home. It helped showing you pictures yesterday and hearing your excitement for me.

Thank you times a million for sticking with me. I'll get there. I will. I am!
