well, technically still a whole 11 hours away, but still almost....almost time for the first session of the no-hug/no-touch era in my therapy!
Felt so highstrung most of today you could have twanged a tune on me I think and sick at my stomach, but right now I am feeling oddly calm, maybe a bit numbish.....I hope I can feel calm when it is actually session time! Somehow I doubt it, knowing myself.
I hope I can express my feelings, my emotions and that she will be compassionate and allow me to feel validated in the feelings I have about all this....I am trying to believe it will be all OK, the connection will be OK, the trust will be OK.
Anyway, I have been on edge about this and will probably be on edge come morning, so anyone willing to hop in my pocket tomorrow morning will be heartily welcomed!
Thanks for this!

Me, me, me! I want to be in your pocket and I want to jump out and tell your T to please be very compassionate and listen to your grief and your reasons for wishing she hadn't said "forever."
Thanks for this!

I'll be in your pocket. Just be honest, authentic and true to yourself. You'll be fine and this will work out.

This is funny!

You probably already had your session. I hope that it went okay for you.

thank you all!
Not time to do much of an update, but it went well! T was lovely and compassionate, she validated my feelings and heard my pain; she even apologized for not handling it well last week and was gentle with me, straightforward but gentle. Trust is still alive and the connection is still real, still strong and good! Of course, still no hugs, but I think I can bear that for now.....
Thanks so much for being with me, I felt you all with me, really I did! It was comforting to know i had supporters, though unseen so very real in spirit.....
Thanks for this!

PG, you have done such a beautiful job of recognizing all the many feelings that have come up in the wake of your last session, staying true to yourself, and reaching out for lots of good support. I so admire your courage in facing this and, despite the blow you felt, being willing to go back and reconnect/reconfigure with T. And I'm so glad to hear you feeling pretty good about how it went. Will you share more when you can?

Take good care of you and ENJOY the evening!

LG
Thanks for this!
Sannah, SpiritRunner
