All I want to do is go into this second appointment with my new T and tell her how bad I am. I have too many diagnoses. I think I'm a liar. I've done bad things. Once she gets to know me she won't like me. I'm boring. Blah, blah, blah. I hate pushing people away before they can even get close.
I also want to go in today and set all the ground rules so I can know whether I'm doing things right or not.
Should be an interesting session. I think I'll bring my art stuff with me today to my session. I like my pencils more than the ones she has. Will that insult her? Why would I be willing to do that? Hmmmm...
Arrrggghhhh!

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"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."
