Thanks Dinah. :)

Saw my T. last night, our first session after the really tough one, where I told him a really difficult secret; like I mentioned, it took me about 15 minutes to say the words. This session was a bit "lighter" in tone, though we did talk about some important stuff, just stuff that I felt stronger about, that wasn't going to make me cry or be upset -- actually, it was stuff I was angry about, which for me, is actually easier to discuss.

My T. said, "Look, we just did some tough stuff in the last session, so it's OK if your head and your heart want to back off a little and we go off on tangents. You'll come back around when you're ready."

My T. and I are on our 9th month working together, and we're still discovering things about each other. I feel safe with him. I also feel incredibly safe with my psychiatrist, too, and the fact that they work so closely together makes me feel like I have this great safety net. Really, I don't know what I would have done this past year (am coming up to 1 year since being diagnosed) without the two of them...
