> GG, I'm so very glad you went today. One thing I am picking up on is that maybe you're really opening up more to your T--I don't know how to say this, really, but if he was somewhat surprised at how you felt and wasn't able to put it neatly together, then that could be a really good thing. A new level of trust, maybe?
Yeah, I suppose that if I can surprise him (and scare myself) after more than a year, that must mean something good. And I new level of trust would be good. But he still wonders if I needed to be rude to him. We kind of let that aspect (of me not showing) drop.
> I've also been told that these kinds of feelings/behavior often precede a breakthrough and I certainly hope that is what is happening to you.I hope so too. It's got to be leading to something, or it will really tick me off! :)

> It doesn't matter how much time I give myself, I'm always late now. We talk about it. It's significant.What significance do you and your T attach to it?

> One silly story for you.
> My T moved over the summer, as I know I've mentioned. I didn't (and maybe still haven't) adjusted well to her move. One day the traffic was terrible (I have a 9 am appt)and I decided to go the back way, or so I thought. I ended up getting lost and the more anxious I became, the more lost I became. The clock was ticking and my prescious T minutes were awasting! I ended up overshooting her new place and had to pass by her old place to get to the new place (still following me?). I don't regularly go by her old place; it's out of the way.

> By the time I reached my T, I was more than 30 minutes late. I was so flustered. She sweetly told me it was fine and said that I wasn't late for therapy, I had just started it somewhere else (her old house). It was a very productive session.
> good luck,
> antiguaAww, your T sounds lovely. I had a disaster on the way to a T appt. once. That's when I had my car wreck. Ugh. Never did make it in.
Thanks for your insights,
