I did hit it off with Susan. I emailed her today, mostly for information but also to thank her and tell her that I'm looking forward to working with her. I wasn't expecting a response but I got one within an hour. She was very helpful and encouraging. She has a DBT group that I can go to tomorrow night.

I had my final visit with my now former T. He admitted that he was rushed and short with me last time in called when I was in crisis. He even told me he didn't think it was his issue because it involved another provider. I wasn't asking him to mediate. I was calling him because I was freaking out and didn't know what to do to calm the feelings. He told me to get a full time job.

Anyway, the wrap up really showed me that he is out of touch with me I must not have done a very good job of communicating with him. After 15 minutes he shook my hand, said goodbye and I was out the door. He did say I could drop him a note if I wanted to. Not sure right now what the point of that would be.

I felt like I ended it well, but I'm certainly disappointed that it ended the way it did.

Good news is that I have my new therapist and I really have high hopes for getting some healing done with her.

Thank to all of you for the encouragement during this process. I'm glad to be moving on.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
