My son is in high school at a private school that's a few blocks from my Ts office. I just realized how comforting it is to know she's just right there when I pass and I am waiting for him to get out.

I HATE IT!!!
I love it.
I'm pathetic... Lol

I know that feeling, actually. T's kids go to the school my daughter goes to and the one I work at. I see him quiet often passing by, it brings me tons of comfort to see him. Shhhh.. I am not sure I would ever tell him that!

I'll never say a word to either of our Ts.(;
I'm not a mushy person externally, even though she (T) invokes those feelings internally. I have no idea how to deal with right now. Grrrrrrr(:

I get the not knowing how to deal with those feelings either.
in fact my T was talking about my trust in her today and I had no idea what to say.it was like she was pointing out ways that she sees that I trust in her. it kind of made me feel so uncomfortable and I didn't know how to respond because truly it is a new thing for me. so I really just let her talk about it without responding. but she finely changed the subject. but it is kind of nice when I can feel comfort in sitting with her

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that struggles with this. It feels very unnatural to me yet.... SIGH. Kind of makes me feel like the "little girl" I never was. I can't help but wallow in that type of comfort even though it makes me feel weak and vulnerable.
It's only been in the last few weeks I've even been able to admit it to myself. I don't know if I'll be able to really accept it.

That probably makes no sense but it feels good to put it out there. Lol

it makes tons of sense. I know for me in my next session I think I want to ask her what am I suppose to do with this information and feelings

Good Luck!!! I'm proud of you for being able to ask. I'm so uncomfortable with my feelings I can't even really discuss them with. She knows I have some uncomfortable feelings but I've never disclosed the nature of them. I'm sure she has an idea though. Let us know how that goes if you feel like you can. I do find inspiration and encouragement from the courageousness of others.

HUGS!
