Hi Brown Owl,

Thank you for providing the space to discuss this.
I voted Other, because I actually ended up talking about this with my therapist briefly, during our last in person session until September.

'I'm not putting myself on a pedestal,' she said 'I know that it's about the space we have created.'

For me, that is a space where I feel heard and deeply understood. Spaces where I can talk openly about my feelings are few and far between.

When I was informed that she intended to work virtually for the month of August, I cried because that precious space is changing.

Yes, it's temporary, but right now it hurts.

I believe that many people seek therapy because they want to understand themselves better, and also to be understood. At their very best, a skilled therapist can offer this.

It's definitely not a comfortable feeling, and I empathise with you deeply...but you are not alone in feeling as you do.

Take care,

Lost
