I think it takes a brave person to sit with someone and allow their anger....and not to take away or try and soothe it over but to really take it apart and look at it!....

Sometimes when something finally surfaces and particularly when T says "I was wondering about that" because she knew all along, but was patient enough and wise enough to wait and let it surface at a time I could be receptive to it and see it too, I am in awe of how they do that. It reminds me of helping your child with homework, patiently moving the child toward the answer, encouraging, maybe making some comments to get the child to think... being supportive but not just giving the answer because giving the answer would take away the joy of accomplishment and the increased self-esteem that give the learning the power of permanent impact.

I think anger is so hard to deal with, to sit with and allow, to talk about. Very hard. I had leftover anger from last week and in the moment anger this week to deal with in session. It's amazing to me to find there is so much to talk about when it comes to anger. When there is someplace for it--that T talks about it and accepts that bit of me--is relieving to me. Since I think I will lose the person because of my anger, and then I don't, I am very relieved.

Isn't it fascinating when the session ends up going someplace we don't expect, takes us by suprise and leaves us with new or renewed pleasant awarenesses.
I'm glad your session was very fulfilling and relieving too, Mouse!
