I often find the session before he leaves and the session when he comes back are difficult. Maybe some residual anger left over? Or maybe just trying to get back into the rhythm of therapy.
As far as me, I'm ok with the decision I guess. I think it might have been better overall to leave, but it warms my heart to see my son so happy.
And my therapist and I are spending our time getting reaquainted, which is a bit harder than I had hoped. I'm still not having twice a week therapy, I'm having once a week therapy two times a week. And things seem a bit stilted.
I asked what it was we used to do, because I know I didn't just report on events twice a week, and he mentioned some things we were working on. But when I came the next time prepared to talk about those things, he seemed disinclined. He said it might be better just to leave them alone if they aren't bothering me. So we end up chatting about what happened that week.
I'm hoping time will solve it. But...
Maybe some things just can't be put back in the bottle. Maybe the slate can't be made blank again. Maybe I just know him too well now. Or maybe I don't know him as well. I don't know.
