T and I are working in uncharted waters so she suggested that I come in twice a week for a while. She's encouraged me to start reading "The Courage to Heal" and doesn't want me to go a week in between appointments because of the stuff it will bring up. I'm thrilled to be going 2x/week. A week does seem like a long time in between sessions. I saw her today and I'll see her again Thursday. Then in February we'll start doing Tuesday/Friday sessions. Now I feel like I can really dig in on these issues. I'm so glad that T is a thoughtful person and enjoys working with me.

"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."
