Thank-you Sannah, wow that brought a rare tear to my eye.

I think I am scared of T not being there for me and / or me not being able to hold it together.

Ok if I am going to give it a go, do I need to do lots of forward planning - how do I know what I want to say - yes sounds ridiculously basic, but that is really where I am at in being "me" in front of anyone else.

I have a really responsible job, can handle the role of being a mum really well - but when I have no role to hide behind, I am utterly useless.

Of course all the negative stuff sets in - I have e-mailed T briefly to say I want next session to be a review session with a view to taking a break - so now feel I have sealed my fate. But if he is a good T he will know all this right? And actually as I have pre-warned him he will be there to help me right? And if he is not, then it is the right thing to stop seeing him I guess - so I can't lose can I?

I sincerely appreciate your support. Soup

Planning is good! I know about hiding behind roles. I did a lot of that! Will be here for you!
