Dear T,
It feels like you're really getting it lately. Did you take a class on attachment or something?

But clearly, your comment on how each session ending feels like a "mini-abandonment" rings true for me. Of course, now I suppose the question is: What do we do about that? Or is there nothing we *can* do, it's just about my accepting it and dealing with it as best I can? And perhaps your aiming to make my exit each time as gentle as is reasonable? You seemed to try to do that today. I appreciate the "take care" (especially as I mentioned it).

I admit I'm a bit sad you aren't working the day after Thanksgiving (well, you likely won't be), but I suppose I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up when you said you might work that day. Honestly, it would probably have been more for the purpose of a scheduled escape from my house, and maybe you'd have just been doing virtual anyway. And it's probably best that I save money. But I suppose it still feels like, to use your words, a mini-abandonment in a sense.

Glad I'm only yellow, at most, in email--was sort of expecting you to say "orange", but maybe you're considering the one a couple weeks ago about the invoices to be more of a clerical one than a clinical one. Not that I plan to inundate you, but knowing it's there without having to debate whether it's worth a charge--that helps.

Love,
LT
