>>So I'm sitting here thinking about this whole week and I find I'm actually trembling. Do you think this was too much honesty? Would your therapist freak out about all this? I'm terrified that on Monday he will have had time to reflect and decide I'm way too much now. And yet I believe him, when he says he isn't mad or upset with me.

Daisy,

Honesty is wonderful in therapy. But honesty has not been allowed in your relationships in the past (and even in the present), so it is hard for you to believe that it is OK. It IS OK with him (and with us) for you to be honest.

I am so proud of your understanding that he isn't mad or upset. This is great progress. A year ago you would have been sure that the was lying to you about that.

You are not too much for him. He likes working with you. Please try to believe this. And do check in with him this weekend so that you can hear him say it over and over.

Extreme honesty is a good thing. You are doing great.

Please don't be a stranger this weekend! I care.

Love,
Falls
