Today's session was alright. It could have ended better though. We talked about my childhood, and my current goals which wasn't too difficult. We played with my service dog for a little bit. T got a kick out of him. BUT then at the end I got really quiet and depressed out of no where. Nothing T said really mattered anymore and he even said nothing I say is going to take you out of this. I felt bad because he was trying hard , and I just gave up and let the sad take over me.

I was furious with myself after I left. I ended up sending him some emails about how much I hate myself, and am worthless, and hopeless, and he shouldn't waste his time trying to help me because I'm a lost cause.

Well I went home and immediately fell asleep. When I woke up I had one email from T. It was short and simple...he said, "I think your worth it."

Idk why but it totally touched my . No one has ever said that to me, my entire life. He totally disengaged me with that one sentence.

I just wanted to share that.

"I think you're worth it" - what a totally awesome comment. That would definitely warm my heart. Plus the fact that he took the time to send the email. He sounds like a great T. It must be wonderful to be able to talk to him - treasure that. Mine doesn't always answer my emails and it can be hurtful, especially when we've had an emotional session. Like yesterday. I'm still waiting to hear back from him, and probably won't now until Monday if at all, since its the weekend.
Sorry, guess I'm feeling sorry for myself - your T does sound wonderful though

I think you're worth it.. Wow! I think we all have to remeber that for ourselves.. there is always somebody who thinks we are worth it. What a great e-mail from your T! I hoped it helped you!

Thank YOU for sharing this! I had a moment like this w/my therapist - so few words in an email, but they mean so much.

Thanks for the comments everyone! It didn't really set in until this morning that he said that, because I was still feeling pretty triggered. Its pretty awesome that he knew to say exactly what I needed to hear. BUT its kind of a weird feeling to hear someone say that to me. I'm debating if I should bring it up on monday. It feels like it would be a vulnerable conversation though.
