I saw a different side of my T today ...
 I have only been seeing her since January, but today we got talking about my mom and her boyfriend for the first time... and she was SO empathetic and understanding! I felt HEARD and JUSTIFIED in how I'm feeling. It was great. Being validated in how I was feeling was just so powerful.. i wasnt expecting that at all. And, to top it off, she called me a beautiful young woman  ... its hard to stay too upset about things for that long when someone is so openly caring towards you... it was such a nice feeling.  My only wish is that I could con't seeing her over the summer... the semester is nearly over and i'll be lucky if i can see her a couple times before that. But, there's always the Fall!

that's really neat, jacq! Do you have the option of paying her over the summer? I know she's on your college program... but what about out of pocket?

What a great session!
It will be hard over the summer without her, but just think, summer is still a few months off, so you have a number of sessions yet before that break to connect with her, and feel powerful and validated and understood. You can get stronger for the summer and then dive in again in the Fall. (Maybe she can send you an occasional email over the summer to keep in touch.)
