Anything you would like to say to your therapist, big or small... post it here.

OK, I wasn't thinking Roman numerals at first, and was thinking this was the "extra-large Dear T thread"... (thanks for creating)

Dear R,

Sooooooo thank you for responding to yesterdays email within 50 mins after I sent it.

I'm feeling relatively okay.

See you on thursday.

We don't have an appointment set up yet, but I have notes, so I am feeling calmer.

See you Thursday, I hope.

I have had a couple of dreams last night and the night before that I think i'd like your input on. I suppose I should have expected that after calling you last week... maybe I should call again and schedule a one off session to do so. I don't know though if I should. Ugh. I'm still not interested in coming back to therapy but you did tell me more than once that I could call if I wanted to work on a dream....

Dear T,
Do I tell you my fears about your charging me less? Like if I mention going out to dinner, are you going to be thinking "she could afford to pay me my whole rate!" But the idea is more that I don't want to spend all my extra money on therapy. I want to still be able to go to yoga, go on date nights with H, take Claire to dinner. I'm pretty sure you'd understand that, too. And you wouldn't want me spending whatever money I have beyond necessary expenses on therapy. You want me to have a full life. Maybe I need to mention the fears anyway? I dunno--I'll just see how it goes today.
Love,
LT

Thank you for your warm response to the photo I sent. I did work very hard to get here, didn't I? But you helped and I hope you realize just how much I appreciate my time with you. You always say "all I did was show up, you did the heavy lifting" but.... rest assured I wouldn't have done without the healing that happened inside our relationship.

I just realized something.

I want to feel "held," but I also avoid eye contact or anything else that might give me that feeling because I feel like it wouldn't be fair of me to put you in that position. You shouldn't have to share such an emotionally intense and intimate moment with someone so pathetic and disgusting and bad.
It's like it would feel like a violation of you in some way?
On some level I guess I feel like you would be averse to the idea and it would be taking advantage of the fact that you feel ethically obligated to be warm and supportive towards me so you'd share that moment with me even if you didn't want to.
I'm too disgusting. I have no right to ask that if anyone.
I feel dirty for wanting it.
(I think you finally understand that I really don't mean anything romantic or sexual when I use that word.)

Ironically enough, I saw Jenga on sale today.
First time ever...I didn't buy it.
There's no need to make the metaphor more concrete
There are more pieces to pick up
Before we pick up tiny wooden blocks.

I wish you would confirm our appt for tomorrow. I know you usually do closer to midnight, but I want to hear from you now. I also want to know what you thought of my email. Why are you making me wait until tomorrow???
