My sessions get more amazing as time goes on. He really knows his stuff and he is really helping me so much. I am in the hardest part I think, since there is nothing else to really talk about other than my childhood past. But yet he is so gentle warm and sensitive with me, I feel okay to let myself go their. I can just be me, no masks to make him feel better, just me and the truth. It is still hard, but yet I have hope I can really heal.
When I told him today of my speech I gave in class about the things I learned about Baby Lia, he had tears in his eyes, he was shaken up by it because it reminded him of his eulogy he gave at his brothers's funeral 1 1/2 years ago. He had the same message as my speech, and that is to live each day to the fullest and tell those you love how much they mean to you because you never know when your last day will be or theirs. I was moved that he was moved, it was such a bonding moment I will never forget.
When I gave the speech, I got so much strength and had this need to tell them about the important stuff in life that really matters. I could of given a speech on hobbies, etc, but for me what I learned from others including Baby Lia are more important. I had this inner drive that just compelled me to get it out that day. I got an 88%, but mostly because I went way over the allowed time. But my T told me today, that what I did, and how it helped me personally to get it all out, that inner feeling is way more important than my grade in terms of my emotional development. I am starting to feel good about the 88% because it helped me so much.
Good stuff, therapy, I am so happy I have him, I made the right choice to fire my old one, I can really see that now.

I am so happy for you. Your post did give me a warm and fuzzy! It is good to be reminded of how therapy can be so healing and helpful. Sounds like you have the perfect therapist for you, and isn't it great to be able to look back and know that the decision you made, although painful was the right thing, the best thing to do. :0)
Keep up the good work.

Happyflower I am so thrilled for you that your session went so well. It is good that is all you have to talk about is the past. And i am happy you now find the grade a good thing. And of course, the ceiling is the limit. So many people, can't find enough to talk about in a speech, I think it ok , you went over!

I wish we could have heard it :) the tribute to Baby Lia.

That is so great! I hope I am as lucky when I find a new T. Although the one I have now sounds like yours.

>it was such a bonding moment
I've had a few of those when I've talked to my T of some things too. It is a nice feeling when it happens. For those few moments, it feels like you are completely understood and not alone with whatever it is you are experiencing.
Glad it is going so well, HF.

Thanks for reading and relying, I think it helps sometimes to hear some therapy moments sometimes, I know it helped me. I think my t is a keeper(but not forever) Terminating will feel good to me in this case, of course I will miss him, but the relationship just seems healthier than before, and I know he will let me go when I am ready and not before. I don't want to have an outside relationship with him, he can just stay in his office and live there. ;-)
