Cap, I do have a T, a wonderful one! I have been seeing him for nearly three years, so I am light years from the mess I used to be. It's daunting sometimes, not to be where I want to be. I mean, I thought after 3 years I'd be fine! And here I am *still* working on the trauma. Guess that's the journey.

As for the most recent bout of tears, I bravely went back to class today and managed just fine. My instructor did pull me aside and said I get impatient with myself, which slows my progress, but that I am doing just fine. He is a kind and reassuring person. I know that if I persist in challenging myself, I will eventually rise to the challenges in the way I'd like. Practice makes perfect, right?

Thanks all for all your supportive words. I'll definitely keep you posted!
