Today is the day. I spilled the beans about my attraction to T the other day through email. He was so very understanding and amazing about it. He said it shows some growth on my part being attracted to someone who cares about me. He also said that it's totally okay, shows my bravery, and wants to talk to me face to face about it. GAH!

So he squeezed me for today. We will probably talk about boundaries and how normal my feelings are. I'm so lucky to have such a skilled T who doesn't shy away from the messy stuff and is there for my constantly. Hard to not be attracted to a man like that.

Wish me luck! Pocket riders would be awesome, as I'm really nervous and will probably want to run from the room!

I admire your courage! There's no way I could do this, but I'll ride along in your pocket so you'll have some support. Glad you have such a good, understanding T. Good luck!
Thanks for this!

I heard that love was out of my control.”

Sorry, I cannot bring myself to ride along because I ****ing hate this talk and have had it too recently myself. I know how scary it is and how unnerving, so I feel for you! You will live through this.

I'm sorry. I can't resist. Freudian slip much?

Seriously, though, you're brave, brave, brave Sunne. Can't wait to hear how it went!

Thank you everybody! I'm excellent at Freudian slips, so's my T...

It went 'okay'. He seemed somewhat nervous himself. I giggled like an idiot because it's what I do when I am nervous, and he was smiling like an idiot.

So, it's all good. It's not interfering with therapy so it doesn't need to be 'dealt with'.

He did say some wonderful things about me. That I have an artists soul, and that he and I are much alike 'soul wise'.. and that our souls are interconnected. We exist together in the metaphysical sense, I suppose. Not sure if that's supposed to make me feel better!

Then we got on the topic of my husband and how I have no attraction to him and how.. awful my marriage is. I lelt feeling really sad about that and fired off a bunch of emails to T. Lucky him!

I have a serious attraction to him. I think he might have a touch of counter-transference going on. He said he knew I was attracted to him before I told him. Ugh! But I trust he can handle this.

Back to fantasy land I go...

So great that it went well! I have to have this talk with my t, but neither of us have brought it up. Was it a positive thing for u? Should I?
