Sometimes simple words, when delivered at the right time, mean so much more.

Just some quick context. After a big rupture, I went to therapy last week intending to quit. The rupture was successfully repaired and I am continuing. During the session I was asked what I thought I deserved? I had no response, so the question was changed to, What I thought I wanted? I gave a superficial answer, but later expanded on it via email.

One statement made in my email was: "I want to be able to trust you enough to accept that you know what the f*&^ you are doing. LOL"

To which my T replied:

"None of us ever know exactly what the f*&^ we're doing. Trust at the
least that I wouldn't lead you down a road you can't handle. I will never
lead you to harm."

I've re-read this statement several times the last few days. It is so simple. I wonder if she realized how important it was that she wrote it. I also wonder if she realized how her use of the word f*&^ would be so important too. Unprofessional... maybe, but soooo much more meaningful to me at the moment.
