In all my years of therapy, I've never had a session on my birthday. My T knows, and I'm bringing cookies. But I don't want to "waste" my whole session. I'm sure she doesn't expect us to "party" for 1 1/2 hours! Maybe I can just hold her hand the whole time! No, I don't think that's a good idea. My birthday is always bittersweet because my Mom died the day before it, years ago.

Did anyone have a session on your birthday? What did you do? I really wish she'd give me a present, but she probably won't so I'm better off not thinking about that. Her presence are her presents!

My H and I are going out to lunch first.
Thanks for this!

Happy Birthday rainbow! My birthday is somewhat bittersweet, as well. I buried my father two days before I turned 21.

Actually, I saw my T for the very first time the day after I turned 20. I will be 30 this August and have a silly wish to see T on our 10th anniversary/my 30th birthday. LOL
Thanks for this!

Happy Day! I had a b-day appt but didn't tell him until way later. It was early on in treatment and all the stuff I was dealing with was still new and big, and there just wasn't room for other subject matter. Maybe next year!
Thanks for this!

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear rainbow
Happy birthday to you!

Now as for the T appointment, that is another story. I have no song for that. Or do I? What is the one about "I can see your faces, but I don't hear a thing you're saying..."?

I had a birthday yesterday. Don't tell anyone.

Elana, what a beautiful picture!!! Thank you!

wowy: I'm sorry your birthday is also bittersweet. You can schedule your appointment on your birthday. Then it won't be a wish; it will happen.

Thanks, Elli-Beth, onlymedid, and melissa.

Ooh...I have no idea when my T's birthday is. I have a general idea of the birth year, however (she's given herself away a couple times)

Happy birthday dear Rainbow!

Hope you have a lovely lunch with your H and a special session with your T. Let us know how it goes!

(I had a birthday session last year, but it was the stuff of nightmares, so I won't taint this happy thread with the story!!)

(((((((Rainbow))))))))) Happy Birthday

My T and I have birthdays on the same day of the week, about 6 weeks apart...for two years in a row, our birthdays fell on a regular appointment day for me, and we did see each other on both of our birthdays. I always bring him a little present.

I hope you had a good session.
