Dinah,
I know you have talked about the sleeping thing before and have a long-standing strong relationship with your T, but it sure shakes me when you mention it. I don't want it to be your responsibility to talk a certain way to keep him awake. I hope I'm not out-of-line by saying that. I know I must be projecting big time.I get wanting to have them delighted. That is a perfect word for it. Tomorrow I am going to try to share something creative with my T that I have been holding back due to vulnerability and fear that she will not be... DELIGHTED in it. (I'm so glad to have that word now.) I don't want to see her have to think about it either. I agree that won't cut it!
This stuff is SO HARD. I feel like if my T was reading this exchange she would (gently and lovingly) suggest that it is I (and you) who must learn to be delighted with ourselves. YUCK and whatever... It's not enough. It's just not.
