Daisy,

I hear you that therapy is hard. I had one of those sessions yesterday that just left me emotionally "gone".

I don't know if this will work for you, but lately I've just relaxed against my relationship with my therapist - it is what it is. Sometimes I get really scared, sometimes I feel completely loved, sometimes completely abandoned.

But I can trust that neither the good stuff nor the bad stuff will last. In that way it is like a glimmer of a real relationship. It has ups and downs and in betweens and that's tough.

Yesterday, I quoted an emily dickinson poem about hope during my session and my therapist I swear started to cry. He didn't want me to leave. I, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get out of there ;).

Just in case you are curious the stanza in the poem is as follows:

Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
and sings the tune -- without the words
and never stops at all


Take care
Maddie
