Dear T,
Aw, that was a really caring and supportive response. It made me cry, in a good way. It's more how you used to reply to those sorts of emails before this summer happened. Which makes me think something was in fact going on with you at that time to make you be...how you were toward me. You've seemed more like your old self in session lately, so glad to see you were in email, too. (Don't worry, I won't push it!)
Love,
LT

How profoundly you undermine the work of a good T. You could not even make the smallest goodwill gesture. I feel sorry for you , it must be awful to be like that , but the funny thing is , you think you're winning.

I still passed my exam without you.


I don't need you now.


This time it was only 11 days, but Christmas will be almost a month.
Hugs. Thinking about you

T, I'm still thinking over how you said to bring in the topic of my first therapists. I oddly feel compelled to defend him right now. I doubted my own memory some days ago so I went back to my private journal and my memories were right. I even had posts on facebook during that time period where online friends told me his behaviour wasn't ok. Yet I feel very pulled to blame myself, pathologise myself because he had over 20 years of experience by the time I saw him...

Dear T: thank you for being your lovely self last night and not being wacky or bizarre. Thank you for remembering things about me and keeping the session going in a regular direction. I don't think it was the most therapeutic session I've had but it was, at least, an encouraging one. Thank you for being there for me and walking through this stuff with me. Kit

Dear T,
Way to open up a huge topic with 20 minutes to go there, T...I should have deferred to next session. Especially because I was mostly talking around it for much of the time, then got to the meat of it near the end. I think it led me to have a big revelation on the way home, which I suppose is ultimately good, but...now I want to talk about it more...and I think I need to look at the timeline of some things to see if it totally makes sense. But I think perhaps we may have hit on the root of some things...

Love,
LT

Thank you for being so spot-on today and exactly how I needed you to be. The energy in the room today was so calm, relaxed and open. I am so glad now that I told you all those things in last week's painfully honest email.

You didn't reply to my original email sent on the 9th. I expected a response to the second one atleast.

I can feel myself getting agitated and thinking "screw you. Maybe I should call you up and ruin your evening. " It's already been two weeks without you .

I went into a session a couple weeks ago really crabby because I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. My therapist said it was anxiety and I was “looking for zebras” well now it’s showing up on medical tests that I may have a heart condition and I’m doing further tests and I have no idea what’s going on. But I know for sure this is a classic example of don’t listen to your T or anyone who says it’s just a panic attack or all in your head. That’s why people with mental illness are more likely to die then people without MI. People don’t take them seriously.

Dear T,
Thanks so much for today's session. I felt really validated by you, and that means a lot. It just feels like you get it. All the mixed emotions. Including some I feel I shouldn't talk about. And it's really interesting to me that you wondered if the drinking was partly due to that--kinda wish you'd mentioned that at some point, but I also understand why you would have been reluctant to do so. Maybe you figured I'm come to realize it on my own, and that I needed to do that. I also find it sorta funny that you were worried I'd be offended that you said I seem to struggle with handling stress. Like, no duh!

Love you,
LT

P,

After today's training...I've realised something. I knew that you didn't take me seriously, but to actually have it confirmed that you don't treat somebody who's disclosing something to you in that way.


Possible trigger:


And that really hurts. First rule when somebody discloses something to you...believe them. You didn't, so I didn't believe myself...and I'm back at the beginning of the circle.
