I have been avoiding a traumatic event for a couple months now and finally acknowledged to T yesterday that it's something we need to talk about. I could *almost* hear him sigh in relief.

He said "whenever you are ready, I am here to listen and help you work through this."

And he said it in that T "voice", and he had *that* T look of love and acceptance in his eyes.

Then he told me I was one of the bravest people he has ever met. I feel so weak and needy so much of the time, I almost fell off the couch. He asked if I believed him, and I told him that I believed HE believed that, but it was hard for ME to believe that about myself.

He is helping me to believe I can deal with this, just like all the other *crap* I have dealt with.

So, next Monday it starts. Talking about what I don't want to talk about the most.

(((Jilliebeanmn))) you are brave to open up to T. Speaking from experience it can be very hard but it is worth it.

Tomorrow is the day. I am having a hard time NOT thinking about what (and how) we are going to talk about this tomorrow. YIKES-freaking out a little.

I can imagine how freaked out you must feel right now.....ACK!! Maybe you can make some plans to pass the time so you don't get overly consumed by this?

Just know that you won't have to talk about anything you are not ready to talk about! I think your T won't push you, T sounds like a good one!

I know T won't push me into anything, and I am doing this on my timeline and my terms, but even thinking about talking about all this makes me want to flee. My anxiety is horrible right now thinking about this damn appointment this afternoon.

OMG, OMG, OMG...............

Update-T called this morning to move my appointment to Tuesday afternoon instead of today. Not sure if I am relieved or not...
