Some hope.
A very in tune session today. Very serious. Which I suppose it needed to be given the subject matter.
But towards the end I shared with him a post (well most of it, I didn't share the bad stuff in it) I had cause to remember last night.

I hadn't shared it with him when I wrote it, because it made me too vulnerable. I think it discloses a lot more than I'm usually comfortable disclosing.
And he valued it too! He asked for a copy, which I'll give him after I cut some stuff from it. He said that it meant a lot to him, not only because it was an accurate picture of our relationship, but because it was what he always thought therapeutic relationships should be like.
It pleased me so much that he accepted it as he would accept a gift.
Anyway, the reason I brought it was that reading it last night gave me a bit of hope. A hope that I could fight for what I need, even if it's my therapist I'm fighting. :)
Sometimes a little hope means so much.
It left me with a good feeling that I'll need, because he headed out of town for a last minute business trip and I won't see him till next week. I can call him if I need to, though.
