I was feeling very down tonight so I emailed T. I asked him if he will help me find my strength when I'm feeling defeated, or borrow his when I have none left and he replied, "I'm here to help you find your strength."

I totally fell apart when I read that. I emailed back and admitted that I was on the verge of giving up completely when we met, and he probably saved my life. Talk about feeling vulnerable now.

He probably thinks I'm crazy(er) now.

lostmyway, I'm SURE he doesn't think you're crazy. His response is so great He's experienced/educated for these situations. I'm so glad you found him. Don't worry about what he thinks of this. Emails are weird forms of communication- not as good as face to face! Talking it out the next time you see him will probably make you feel better about it.

You validated his career choice, then acknowledged that he's good at his job.
For this he's gonna conclude that you're crazy(er)?

((((lostmyway)))) Uh ... No. I just can't see it. As purplelephant says, emails can warp our perceptions. I really think all is well. Talk it out--always talk it out.

I'm just worried he'll be like "oh no what did I get myself into with this one." ...when he reads it.

lostmyway- It's wonderful that you have such a supportive t. I think you showing t your vulnerability demonstrates real trust in the relationship. Like others have said, talk through it next time you meet.

He's not going to think you're crazy, and good for you for reaching out.

I am positive he doesn't think you're crazy or anything negative. He probably thinks its great that you reached out when you needed it.

[Wren_]

my guess is .. he probably already knows what you shared and that it won't change anything about how he thinks of you; and he will just be glad that you are working together

No, I bet his response is, "Ahhhh, that's so great! I helped AND this person is willing to be open and share with me that I helped."

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
Alice didn't think that proved it at all...

It's kind of funny but completly out of chance my T brought this email up in session today to make a comparison about my moods. He was like stop right there, two days ago you sent me such an amazingly positive/nice email, which immediately I denied and acted like he had the wrong client.. lol. Of course that didn't work because he brought out the evidence (iPhone) and read it outloud. So all is good. Thanks for the support everyone!
