Thanks Tamar. There's always so much comfort and wisdom in your posts.
> I guess my main thought is about maintaining that mutual honesty in your next session. I wonder if you will feel inclined to pull away, or whether you might perceive him as pulling away, because of the intimacy (for want of a better word) in this week’s session. I would imagine it would be a natural response to want to protect yourself if you might be afraid of disclosing more. I don’t think it’s a bad thing if you feel inclined to pull away (or if he seems to pull away), but I hope if it happens you’ll be able to remember that he said he cares about you, and I hope you’ll be able to move in closer again in due course. Just a thought.

Oh yeah, I've already had the feeling "Well I think maybe I'll ask for a few weeks therapy break" but I think I can ride that one out.I will try to remember that he cares and that will help carry me over some bumps I think. I'm not sure I can traverse the therapy Himalayas yet, but posting here helps a lot too.
