I just want you to know that I am really liking who I am discovering to be. I am finding who I really am and others seem to like who I am even when I am being my true authenic self. I am on my path of discovery, enjoying myself in my own skin. I never ever knew I had a "self" until after working with you. You have brought out my best, a part I never knew I had, you have given me a meaning to my life, one that I never knew I had. You have given me hope that things will be okay, you believed that I was strong when I couldn't feel it. You have given me unconditional positive regard, when I have never felt that from anyone before but never knew I needed to feel that.
You are right everyone has a dark corner in their life, but I will overcome it. I still need you to sort out a few things, really hard stuff, if I can let you help me. I want to be set free from the weights that are still holding me down. I want to fly, I want to rise above the world! I want you to be there when I do. I want you to be there to help celebrate my birth. I feel like you have given me life, because I feel so alive for the first time.Thank you for believing in me. A deep felt thank you always.

Thanks Muffy,
It is just what I am feeling, I wish I could tell him, but I don't know if I can. He deserves to know considering all the sh*t I have given him time and time again. But I think he knows, I think he can feel it in me. I don't know, kinda of weird for me to say that.

Happyflower,
That's gorgeous!
you are such a beautiful person. I think your T knows this side of you well, and has always seen hints of it, even when you were struggling.It might be nice though, to tell him these things. Sometimes it's good if T's can know that we are also experiencing ourselves in a new light. Sometimes we change a lot, and don't even realize it... But you realized it, and that's FANTASTIC.
bring it in? or fax it? or email it? or write it in a card? I think it's worth sharing. You might get some interesting feedback. Besides, what's the worst thing that can happen? He's seen all sides of Happyflower. He might as well see the optimistic side too, huh?

It's so wonderful to see the growth and put it into words. Hang on to this and when you come to a place where things are a little tough, remember your thoughts as they are here. I think it's important to remember the good things when things get hard.
When I get miffed with my T. she will sometimes remind me to give her credit for the things she has done right and that is far more than the mistakes she has made. It's good to remember that when I get mad at her.
Keep up the positive work. We're all going to get there at some point.
