Dear T,
At first, I felt like your reply this morning was too "therapist-y," like sort of detached, I guess? But then I imagined you saying the words in your voice, in how you would talk to me, and it felt different, better. I suppose this speaks (no pun intended) to the difference of communicating with people in person/on Zoom/even by phone vs. in writing when talking about relational issues. I did appreciate your "Enjoy your weekend!" at the end, as it suggested you OK about the email and with me. And also your saying there are many ways to deal with anxiety.


I think I know where much of this is coming from (a couple places, really--one from childhood, one very recent), and we can discuss more on Monday. Because it isn't just about you/our relationship. So I need to figure out how to not have it take hold in my brain.


Love,
LT
