Dear T,
Thanks for listening to and accepting all that, without suggesting that anything that I felt then was wrong or inappropriate. I think you're realizing your role in all of this, too. That it isn't just me being all needy and attached and looking for more than what you feel a therapeutic relationship is supposed to give. I

t seems like you're getting it. Like something clicked, and you're viewing it all with understanding and empathy instead of...whatever it was before. Maybe you hadn't truly considered the effect of the pandemic on the relationship?

In response to your question, I do think it was a net positive, even if it's a bit difficult now. I think we just should have talked about it sooner than we did. And at the time, though like you said, maybe neither of us realized it was an issue then. I guess it's good that we're at least talking about it now....

Love,
LT
