Good job HappyFlower-
sounds like a really good session on so many levels- you got a couple of little annoying anxieties out of your mind (the Target incident, his minor surgery thing, seeing him at the gym...And then you got down to business, and opened the door a little bit-- you must be ready to start the hard stuff again. I'm so glad for you
Best of all, you got feedback from him that he's ready to be there with you. That's fantastic.
When I dumped my story on my oldT, he said afterwards that this was very satisfying to him, as a professional, because so many people just come in when they are feeling really down, and when they're stabilized on medication, and somewhat functional, and no longer need acute supportive counselling/therapy, they figure that they are pretty much done. That people leave and never come back, and he wonders sometimes whether they will ever be ready to confront or at least admit that they need help confronting some larger issue besides their immediate stress.
Well, sounds like you've made a really big step. Give yourself a pat on the back, and extra HapppyFlowerhugs. You may need some extra hugs for the next couple days... I just have a feeling ((((((((Happyflowerhugs))))))))
