Daisy -
As usual, this post was beautiful. Yet another gift you and your T have given each other, this relationship. Whenever I question my attachment in therapy to my T (which seems often enough) she always reassures me it's what supposed to happen --- it's what I need to go through, to feel, to trust. And it's perfectly alright. It just rips my heart to pieces at times.
I also gave my T her gift this week. It was a personal gift and hard to pick out. I wrote her a long note explaining my gift choice (thanks to Daisy) as well as my feelings for her and this relationship. In the note I wrote I felt like Goldilocks, trying to find the perfect combination. She laughed out loud reading my note and that made me smile. She said that I knew her. I shook my head, "I know only the important parts, not the details." She replied, "Oh, but you do know me." I wish I knew her better, or is it that I wish I could trust my feelings better.
