Today's session for me was so intimate and I felt so close to my therapist. Probably in the 20 years I have been seeing her today she and I connected so deeply. I had a difficult day yesterday and called her. (it was her day off) I felt lousy calling her on her day off but she says it's OK with her and not to waste energy worrying about it. She is so good about it. I don't call her that often and when I do she responds quickly even on days off and talks as long as I need to talk to her. So we talked for about 10 minutes and I felt comforted by just talking with her. Today when I got to my session I was feeling overwelmed with sadness due to the issues I am dealing with. I never ask for a hug at the beginning of a session but today I did. I was feeling afraid to ask and she looked at me and said "what is it that you want to tell me, it's okay whatever it is" So I asked her for a hug and she stood up and said "of course you can get a hug" SHe hugged me so closely and for awhile, I began to cry. SHe said "let's sit and talk about what you are feeling and what is going on". So during the session I was crying a bit and as I was descibing some things to her she had looked like she was getting a bit emotional too. She got up and gor me some kleenex. Anyways the session hit on some real core issues. I asked her if she could give me some sessions during the week if she is going to be away on Saturdays this month and next and she did that for me. At the end of the session. I asked if two hugs in one session was ok and she smiled and said of course. Coming from a home where no one expressed any feeling of love or nurturing it is such a comfort to be able to get some of that from her. I am smiling ear to ear right now and I feel like I am very blessed to have her in my life.

The hugs are the best for sure! Sometimes I just don't want her to let go.
