:) I'm so proud of you for getting through this (not that I doubted you for one second). It takes a strong person and I've seen from reading this and talking to you (m_from_oz on babble chat)that you are.
I see alot of resembelence in what you said about your T and mine in that I think our parting session will be similiar. I think its different for a male/female t/client relationship in that you cant have the same intimate comfort of a hug or just...something less 'business-like' than a handshake. I know with my T it will just be a handshake because i cant see how if its never happened before that its going to happen at the last session. I know he'd feel akward about it in some way. But its okay too because I feel sometimes that words or gestures aren't needed and we understand how the other is feeling in regards to being empathetic or gratitude on my behalf.
Anyways, this isn't about me lol I'm just saying I can see how you're final session can relate to what mine will be like (within the next few months)
And dont degrade your posts, hun. They're important to babble and its babblers because we all help each other out and its great to have an avenue to get this out. *hugs* Thats the great thing about PB, theres alotta love :)
I've often wondered about whether my T would let me email him or not (seeing as he knows im net savvy) but im beginning to understand why it may be policy that emails cant be exchanged. Sometimes people are too revealing with their emotion because of the comfort of it not being face to face or that its available 24/7 so the person may think they're just sending friendly emails but they turn into ten a day.
I dunno, but i think my T wouldn't allow it either. Which is strange but they've got to keep to their boundaries or lose their job i guess.*hugs* You're a brave person and you made me smile. Congrats on passing too. Thank you for sharing and I hope we see you soon in Open.
Take care
Bell xoxo
