Abbott And Costello.

hey mouse. seems like things are shifting, sweetie. thats pretty scary, huh.

i'm not quite sure whats happening.

but sounds like progress to me :-)

You know we enjoyed your post but I think we also can relate. Do you have particular emotions connected. I think that it speaks for itself in many ways but how did you feel about us making light of it?

Thanks for sharing.

Secretgarden, I am happy people made light heart of my post. I think we all need to remember to just laugh at times. I can take myself so seriously most times.

Good.... just checking in.... We did enjoy ourselves.

It is apparent that we all have our fantasy session... or a variety of them. Thanks for starting... now.... see what you got started? :-)

Mouse, lol about guaranteeing yourself another twenty years......that is so funny!

SG raises the question about us making light of your 'fantasy session'.... I just want to say that I wasnt laughing at you for having such a fantasy; rather, I was laughing with you at the way you took one of our deepest darkest best-kept secret and put it out in the open, so very bluntly, for all to see....my favorite line is where the t says, ''we can arrange for that''!

One time I was very lonely during the holidays and t called to check in on me....and I told her how alone I feel and how awful it is, the first holiday as a single mum....and she said ''you're welcome to come to our holiday celebration'', and I said, for real? and she said, ''Yeah, I mean it, but then I can no longer be your therapist''. I was so warmed by her sincere invitation, I absorbed the goodness of her, and felt very soothed.

What a thought... but she apparently likes you.

I too was feeling good about Mouse's exchange.. and feeling it from the patient's perspective but some time I just like to check in.

what is this about mouse:

> ME - Ohhhh now I've got you where I want you, I'm not sure thats what I want after all

T - Oh but I love you now! Don't reject me!

ME - Well we;re have to talk about this, I feel a bit icky now.

is it...

is it that when you think about being that close to her you get the urge to push her away (so that is what has changed)

or...

is it that when you think about being that close to her you don't get the urge to push her away... it is just that you don't need her to be THAT close to you in order to feel connected to her?

change either way...

but i'm not sure on the nature of the change.

(progress either way to be sure)
