> been meaning to say for a long time how blessed we are to have you around here

Thanks so much 10der. It means a lot to me!

> Maybe by *stealing* I meant I wondered if I'd internalized the stories from Babblers so much I was *making* this happen, or embellishing it...but heck, that doesn't fit at all. T. said what he said. It was mostly about him, as I was too surprised to say much in response.

I had the impression that by using the term ‘stealing’ you were indicating that you felt your circumstances didn’t warrant the reference to your younger self. But I know what you mean about the possibility of internalizing other people’s stories.

> I'm not afaid he's thinking anything at all, really. Is there something I should fear he's thinking?

No! Nothing to be afraid of. I just wondered if you were a little fearful of his perspective because of three things you said in your initial post:
“I did feel more connected, and cared about and understood, yet very possibly misunderstood, too.”
“I’ve probably made a mountain out of a molehill”
“I both want the next session to come quickly, but then again, I dread it, too.”
But if you’re curious instead of worried, that’s a good thing!

> I just now remembered he said it was incredibly clear I was waiting to be punished about revealing my behavior to ex-T. And that I was trying to reason with both him now - and ex.T back then - why I was *good* and shouldn't be punished. I must be quite blind in this area, as I never would have focused there. Yet now, it sounds reasonable.

I love it when they say things that seem to be out of left field, and yet turn out to be very profound!
