Dear T,
Thanks for listening and being understanding and compassionate and not defensive today. (i did my best to be the same toward you, too.) I think it's good we discussed all that. Would it have better if it hadn't been right before your vacation? Probably. But I also think if I held all that in or said something right at the end, it wouldn't have been so good either.

It helped that you explained why you have this policy. Also, that you said it's nice to know you matter this much (to me). With the love thing, for example, it just seemed that was all bad in your eyes (though maybe you felt it was wrong for you to feel at all positive about my feeling and expressing that?). So at least you see some sort of positive in this.

And glad you said it didn't feel awkward for you--well, like I said, no more awkward than sessions with me typically are.

Love you,
LT

PS: An ad for Disney World popped up and covered the screen as I was about to post this--a sign? Though the thought of you at Disney is sort of amusing... just seems very incongruent.
