i felt safe in session today. i didn't realize how much i needed that until the session was over.

with all the triggers and hurt and fear over the last few sessions, i realize now that one of the things i was afraid of most was losing that feeling of safety with her.

and it's not lost. it was just hiding.

we hit on a core hurt and i cried a bit. i am emotionally exhausted but it was a good session. she's a good therapist.

thanks for all the pocket rider support!

Wow, glad to hear you had such a great session. I don't have those feelings of being safe with T yet, but reading this helps me to know that it is possible.
Thanks for this!

i'm so glad you had that safe feeling come back again, and that it wasn't gone but hiding I know how much you were needing this and it's always a pleasure to be a pocket rider with you
