Poet,
I just want to tell you how brave you were to share with her today. And you don't have to post to me individually, unless there is a question. I know you are probably struggling with lots of stuff right now, so no pressure here.
Go slow. Take lots of deep breaths. It is OK to cry with her. Surprisingly, it actually helps. I was shocked the first time my therapist told me to leave the tears, I was apologizing all over the place for them and desperately trying to wipe them away. He still has to remind me that it is safe to cry with him, but I'm getting better at it.
Truth is, I never knew I had so many tears in me.
