Fellow,
Last session, I directly told my T about something I needed, something I thought would help me. So, I'll let you know how it goes as we implement the idea. Thanks so much for your wisdom!

Okay, another positive thing my T did (it's hard to choose from all of them).

Sometimes words can be very powerful. I was going through a massively difficult time and at times was not the most pleasant person. My T wrote me an unbelievable letter. I've shared it with others here already but it's a good one worth repeating:

Soliaree,
I've been out of town and only opened your email last night - it's not that I wanted to let you hang through the weekend. . . . there are no easy answers that I can bestow through the brilliance of my narrative
In regards to your present struggle, I'd have you recognize that this may prove the most essential part of the work you have to do - to tolerate, explore, and ultimately accept that tension between becoming absolutely attached and rejecting/fleeing. Realize that there really is nothing remarkable going on around you at this moment, so the suffering you're feeling is a pure reflection of that dynamic.
<font color="#880000"> Breath, be still, and realize that there really is nothing you have to do right now to be ok.</font>

This last statement totally blew me away. How stunningly moving! My T means so much to me, he has stayed with me through everything -- it still shocks me. I really don't deserve him.
