Thank you, Witti. (o:
It's kind of funny. I'm not like freaking out today about the things I 'told' my T yesterday, but had I 'written' those things to her (which I believe I have done already) and faxed/mailed it to her, I'd be in a panic right now. It seems like what made the difference is that by telling her this stuff to her face, I got her immediate feedback, and fortunately it was positive, but there was something about just knowing how it was received. If left up to my imagination, it would never be anything positive!
You helped me a lot making the decision to finally talk to my T about my feelings for her.
I think next time I see her, I might mention "Hey, didn't I already say a lot of this (about the transference thing) in the letters I used to write you?" Because I'm sure I did. I'd be curious to see what she'd say. Would she acknowledge that yes, she has been aware of this for at least a year because of the things I've written but she was waiting for me to be ready to talk about it? Thing is, if it wasn't for 'babbling' (lol!) I may have never got the courage to actually 'say' these things and not just 'write' about them.
I can see why the word 'courage' is stuck in the middle of the word 'encouragement.' All the encouragement I got here gave me the courage to speak what had been the 'unspeakable.'
Well, gotta run. Thanks again for all your great advice and wisdom. Have a good day.
Sharon
