Seldom,
I hope 2009 will be a good year too. I'm applying to study medicine - I'm a foreigner in the country where I'm living and will be studying in Dutch, so have to pass some language exams first. Even then it's no certainty I'll get a place. If I do get in then I'll be doing what I've wanted to do for many years, which in a way would put my life back on track again.
I can understand why the locked door left a lasting impression - I don't know what I'd do if my therapist didn't come to the door. I'm sure I'd soon think the worst. It's interesting and fortuitous that such a negative experience turned into something so positive therapy-wise.
I've had the fantasy of just lying down on the divan and falling asleep - what a lovely sign of trust and comfort in the company of another person. Do you often lie down for your sessions? I'm going to try lying down for my sessions when I start again in January, so who knows - maybe I will drift off one time. Until now I have always sat (except briefly over a year ago for a couple of sessions but it was quickly apparent I wasn't ready).
I didn't know you had had a head injury - but I'm glad to hear you have made a full recovery.
Thanks for sharing,
Witti
