Dear former T,
You were the person who walked me through the toughest years of my life. Our therapy has been over for some years now and I am happy we kept in touch a little, somehow. I like your “human” side as well.
You will always be the best and my favourite, with all your flaws as well, because you cared a lot and it’s such a good feeling to be in this quiet place when it comes to our relationship. I am so happy for all that you have achieved in these years. I was one of you first clients and we saw each other grow.
Last night I dreamt of you being sick and woke up sad.
Usually I have the urge to get in touch with people I dream of, but not with you. I know I could, now but I also know you are very fine and going strong. I want to keep growing. Walk on my own. Meet you one day for a walk in the park like you suggested in your Christmas letter. Not as a needy client. For that I have current T to stress, after all. When I joke that she should retire she makes a good laugh. You’ve passed me to another good person and I will always be grateful for that.
I wish you the very best till the moment for that walk comes.
