I just got out of my meeting with my adviser. It went better than I thought it would. I have T next. I better take my keys out of my pockets so there is enough room.
 Thanks for coming everyone. |

I didn't tell T how long the week was. But I did tell her that I didn't want to leave today.
 And I really didn't. I would have felt perfectly fine to stay there curled up in her chair. She said that the feeling of safety was from inside me and not connected to her or the place. But I don't know if I believe her. I just wanted to stay right there.While we talked about my feeling suicidal, the discussion didn't feel satisfying. I couldn't tell her how often I feel that way. I was scared about how she would react. So I couldn't put information out there that she didn't ask about. I feel guilty for not telling her. |

I have had that same feeling! Wanting to tell T something, but not wanting to since she didn't ask, but feeling guilty for not telling her. Such a catch-22. I'm glad you felt safe there. Reading your words brought me back to the safe, calm feeling of my Ts office. I love what your T said about the feeling of safety being from you and not from her or the place. Wouldn't it be wonderful if some day we could feel that safe, serene calmness everywhere we went, not just that one hour per week? I hope we both get to experience that someday.

I'm sorry I wasn't around to jump in your pocket, Googley....but put me in your pocket anyway.
It's hard to open up entirely...I sooo get that. I know that there are things about me, how I feel, etc. that T ought to know....but fear keeps me from sharing it. Fear of rejection, of feeling shame/embarrassment....Ugh. It's so hard.
