Fall's post above made me think about how I have been wanting to somehow thank my analyst recently for his patience, attentiveness, optimism and caring through the past two years, when I have often felt so terribly alone and discouraged. I found myself saying to him yesterday, "it's like love- not the kind of love you have for your family- but really like love anyway". He said, very softly, so that I barely heard him, "yes, it is". Tears began running down my cheeks; then we were silent together for several moments. For once, I could give something back to him- and he accepted what I offered in such a wonderful way....like it was very valuable to him.
