Hey, oh best t I ever had! What up? You wanna know something? At going on 6 weeks since we said adios I am beginning to look back in a good bit of awe at how our therapeutic relationship "worked". The nuts and bolts of it and ****. You know? The transference (that went both ways, I know now), my projections (gazillions of them probably haha), my resistance and the way we gradually wore it down, etc etc etc. There were plenty of times when I got so pissed at you. Eventually 'fessed up to most of them and we talked through them. So goldang grateful that BOTH of us stuck it out til the end. I know I was no picnic a lot of times. Your patience was amazing. And when it wasn't, how could I blame you? I couldn't. OMG the letter that I wanted to write you, but didn't and you know why, I now want to write. I'm going to, in my last therapy journal which isn't filled yet so this will fill it up the rest of the way and then I will put it into the big *** storage container that holds the rest of 10 years worth of spiral notebook journals. I like looking through them from time to time and seeing my progression over the years. It makes me feel good inside and I know that not one minute (or one dollar!) was wasted. Even though it took 10 years! Like ya said, I'm a "slow cooker". Overall it's the best damn thing I ever did, sticking it out, seeing it through.
Good work, L. I sincerely hope that you consider me one of your successes. Even though I still have work to do, I honestly believe that we did really good work together and that I would not be where I am now without you.
