> And isn't it GREAT when it turns out like this? That experience you describe is precisely why I myself am willing to take risks more and more often - in therapy and IRL. Scary, but the only way to get from here to there in being deeply connected. Your posts made me smile a lot. :-)))
That's what my therapist has been trying to teach me. But I'm less willing to take risks outside therapy because experience has shown me that the payoff is not nearly as great and risk much greater outside therapy. But maybe that's just me and the circle of people I inhabit. Or maybe I'm just not skilled enough with it.But this was a relationship risk and he recognized that, bless him. I think it did have a relationship deepening effect. It somehow made tangible the bonds of relationship that we frequently discuss.
