my session is tomorrow. usually, i'm so aware of my session and can feel it coming closer. but it feels so far away .. surreal, even.
this past week has been so emotionally and physically exhausting and I'm still not 100% physically. i just want to be in that space - sometimes time it feels like a war is going on in my head, trying to fight the fear and negativity - i'm just tired. i want... no, i need that safe space. she assured me it was waiting for me. i hope so.  (thank you for listening  )

((((((((((rainbow rose)))))))))))))
 times like this when you had to miss the last session so it gave that unexpected gap ... somehow it seems so strange to be returning and can give that surreal sense you mentioned ... i hope you both quickly reconnect and T provides that safe place and space you both want and need

I feel this way sometimes too. Maybe you will feel better once you're actually there. Two steps forward, one step back, right?
Lots of positive thoughts being sent to you!

The fact that you write, I can feel it coming closer....is really an evocative and beautiful way to put it...so true. It is this way for me as well, I can feel the session growing closer in a bodily way. What does this mean? It is often a feeling of anticipation...in the past, for me, was a feeling of dread...of hope . What do others feel as their session grows closer? |
