> I'm proud of myself because I didn't revert into old behaviors of 20 years ago when I first saw this T. I didn't quit, walk out mid-session or write an "I'm so mad at you" letter. (Mind you, I'm only 43 now) Instead, I kept my appointments and talked about why I was feeling hurt.Good for you! I will think of you if I start getting off-kilter Thursday. What a great model...Woohoo. There's hope for us all.
> And it's that small wounded part of me, my T is trying to heal.
I think that part of me is what's being upset bigtime, too. It's nice to even be able to recognize you have that part, let alone trust someone to help you heal it.

> To gg, I have my safe place back. I did tell her when I first walked in that it was gone. She wanted to know what was standing in the way of getting it back, and I wanted to say "You", but instead focused on my hurt feelings. I hope you get your safe haven back on Thursday too. You deserve it!!Thank you so much for adding this. I admit I looked at your post right away for inspiration. Good for you for sticking with your feelings, because I so want to say "you you you you" to him. I hope I get my safe place back too, or at least get the process going.
Thanks and I'm so glad you worked through this. It sure didn't sound easy.
