Dinah,
I'm glad it worked out. You seem to really have a good connection with your Therapist, even if it has its ups and downs. I was glad to hear also that you kept the session light. I was a little afraid that I had "wasted" mine's time because we didn't talk about really hard things or get too emotional.
Actually, I was thinking about yesterday's session, sort of wondering why I went and if he thought I really needed to go more than I thought I needed to. (I'm pretty sure he did.)We did talk about my family and what stress I might encounter, etc. But today, I realized that I was glad I had gone. Just the anticipation of the probable stress helped me to cope today. Plus, my attachment has been so up and down that it was important to have a continuation of the connection we had reestablished on Monday.
I gave him a little gift -- a nesting toy (you open each one and there is another inside) of an old fashion Knight -- "Defender of the Deep". Symbolic of the work we are doing. He loved it. :)
I wish it was always on such an even keel.
