First of all, you need to be financially independent. Fingers crossed for that SSDI to come through. When it does, have you thought about divorcing your husband and meeting someone who is able to show you the love you deserve?

You're a tough case. As I told you, the abuse you grew up with is the worst I've ever worked with. There are times when what you experienced makes me cry. I wonder, at times, if I can really inspire change in a 56 year old woman. There is many a time when I doubt myself, working with you. But I can't allow that to sabotage your therapy, so I remind myself that hope and faith are very real.

You think too much! Practice mindfulness - just give it a good try. I truly - truly - believe it will help you a great deal.

Occasionally, I feel intimidated by you.

When I say I care about you, I mean it. Please, please don't stop taking your medication. Try really hard to make peace with your pdoc. She and I work as a team...use her for what she's here for: medication management. Give a good try at not taking her so seriously. I know she's weird - but she's good at her pdoc job.

I worry about you. You're in a high-risk category for suicide.

Sometimes you exhaust me, especially if I see you late in the day.

I wish we could be friends; we really connect in a very special way. But I accept that we have a different purpose together.

Me:
I think I need to re-examine what’s the purpose of going to therapy anymore.

It’s not that (T) has failed. I feel my situations are too hard to solve.

PrevT:
May not be solved, per se...but your relationship with (T) has been a wonderful support as you traverse the ups and downs.

Dear KH,

I'm not going anywhere. It's ok to tell me your feelings...that's kinda the point of therapy. I promise I won't freak out. Deep breath, you can do this.

Hey Art: I am an experienced t and I know what I am talking about. Get your butt back in therapy, woman.

Art, I understand. I know you want to tell me how the workshop went, and I also know that you are not letting yourself do so. I wasn't your t for 8 years for nothing! Haha. Just send the email. I want to hear about it.
