My session Monday was really good!
 (The only annoying part to me was that I misjudged the time and was about 50 minutes early and didn’t know what to do with myself. I felt quite emotional before the session and that made the time waiting move very slowly. )We started out talking about something I’d refused to talk about last year. But after our discussion, I have new perspective on how to handle something. We talked about my homework that i had during my therapy vacation and how that work has affected me and we ended the session with me telling her a list of things I want to work on this year. She said I was different in the session… more confident…more solid... more focused. (and I wasn’t staring at her shoes!  ) She seemed pleased with my progress. I still have more work to do in order to achieve the overall goals, but I couldn’t have gotten here without her. I don’t know how she does it, but from the day I met her, she continues to offer me hope.  A year ago, I didn’t have any hope.When I met her in that first session, there was something about her that told me that she was good at her job. It was nothing about what she said – just a strong feeling on my part. I’m so glad I trusted that feeling and kept going back. I’m also very grateful to have found the PC community.  It definitely has helped me get to this point.  I am looking forward to see where this all will take me. Here’s to 2012 and continuing on this path to better mental and emotional health.  p.s. Aaaand…. I was her first client of the year!

That's wonderful, rainbow_rose! I can almost "see" how your session was, and I am very happy for you.
 At least you weren't LATE, but I know how anxious I feel just being a few MINUTES early! How nice to hear your T tell you of your progress!! I know I feel good when my T tells me, though I don't always believe her! I'm glad you have such a great T, and that you're able to talk about things you couldn't before! Yeah, PC is great too!

It must have felt great to go in there and show T how you've grown. And then to talk about something hard TOO, and to reconnect, and to set goals for the new year...what a great session!
It sounds like you made really good use of your break. And now you're ready to make really good use of T!
