I left a message with T and told him I'd be bringing my crayons and my mandala coloring book and sitting on the floor tomorrow. I told him I REALLY want to wear my pajamas! I just feel like I want to go and feel comfortable and nurtured. I did reassure him that I would actually show up in my daytime clothes though....

Normally, I think I would be worrying that I'm "running away" from the trauma stuff, or trying to stuff it or avoid it. But right now, I'm just feeling like I've worked REALLY hard on it, and I deserve a break. Just the fact that I can have that thought must mean that I'm actually making progress....which boggles my mind. It comes so slowly, sometimes it seems like nothing is happening. Wow.

I really, really, really need a nurturing, non-traumatic session tomorrow. I hope it works out that way.

Compromise and wear jogging pants/T-shirt combo.

Not every session need be deep and uber-traumatic to be beneficial. My T has a good sense of humor and we laugh a lot. It doesn't mean that we don't work on the problems I have; actually, I find that when I'm more relaxed I have a more beneficial session than I do if I'm keyed up.

I've got my T tomorrow too. Go team.
