I tried to go this whole week without emailing T. Then yesterday I felt the urge to just have that tiny contact with her building up, until I finally emailed her saying "hello, sigh, tried to go a whole week without writing, but failed" T replied "Its ok though, to check-in, I'm still here, hope your ok, love ***".

Then I come here and want to tell "you" about it, and that made me wonder, why? Why at my age am I excited and almost "proud" shall I say off my connection with T?

I Know when I was aged 8, me and the other kids would proudly show off our mothers ages, though my adoptive mother was always the oldest mother so I didnt feel to proud then, but wanted to be just as proud like the other kids so joint in.

I'm wondering if it that 8yr old mentality that comes here to show how proud she is to have this T? I mean why else would I do this? why does an adult come and talk and talk and talk about a therapist? I wonder if others read here with finger down throat? I dunno, I'm just wondering why?

Or perhaps the clue for is in the post above where as an 8yr old I "wanted" to be proud of my adoptive mother, but someting was preventing me from being so? Perhaps the part that wanted and needs to feel this as they grow, had gone underground and now has its chance to feel delight in the person they have now? "Look, Look, I have someone that doesn't reject me"! Tis a nice feeling

Stumpy, Nowt wrong with what you post, we never know what someone else will find relevant or useful.

I agree with Stumpy, Mouse. Your posts are amazing. I probably do the same sort of thing on Psych Central and elsewhere: just wanting somebody to hear me!

I think it's very human to want to share one's joy. I think that we are a population that will really understand how you feel about your T's words, because we have T's too so we "get it." So you are choosing the right people to share with, mouse. I think it's very normal and healthy! I love how your T used the word "love" in her message to you.

((((Mouse)))).

I like the way you write, and I relate to your wanting to write so much about your T. I also could write about my T forever because, for me, it's a way of holding onto that connection with her. I want to share it too. There's something so amazing about the T-relationship. If we could bottle it up and sell it, we'd get rich!

Your T sounds so wonderful, I can see why you want to share. I liked her note! At my final session, my T gave me a note and signed it "love". I kept the note on my dresser for a long time; now it's in my heart.

I love Bob Dylan too. (From your other thread)
Thanks for this!

Mouse,

I think it's so wonderful that you are feeling your t's love and concern for you and are taking that in and growing as a result! It's wonderful!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
