So, after a great therapy session today, I have a much better feel for what I want to talk to him about. I just sent him this revision:
"OK, scratch that. What I want to talk to you about is the way my therapy with you ended. I need to explain what I've figured out about what was going on for me, and I need to ask you some questions about your experience. I have a theory about why this is coming up now, although it's kind of complicated and deals with some things in my life that you and I didn't talk about much. I'd be happy to explain it to you if we do a session.
What I said before is also true, but after reflecting more, this feels like it gets closer to the heart of it."
I think that if I get one session, this is what I need to make sure we talk about. I was trying to avoid it because I feel guilty enough about how often I've told him about the pain of his leaving. But when we got to this issue in therapy today, it was still such an exposed nerve.
I hope you guys aren't sick of me yet. It's been so helpful to have a place to take my crazy thinking about this. I'll let you know when I get an answer.
