That's a great question and the answer needs some thought. I think my first reaction would be the same as yours "You, my therapist" and his reply made me smile. He is so smart and cute. And he does let you know over and over again that he isn't going anywhere --- don't you still have 487,000 phone calls left?
Maybe the real answer is Daisy. You need to know in your heart of hearts, in your quiet moments, that it is okay to love him. No one is going to punish you for sharing your hidden secrets --- no matter what they are and who they are about. Because in therapy, it's all about helping you, Daisy.
Sometimes when I write to you reminding you to be gentle to yourself, I guess it's sort of from the same line of thought. It's okay to put yourself and your needs first. In fact, it's more than okay, it's needed right now. Let your t help guide you through the next chapter of your exciting life. In chapter 5, I hear a younger man walks into your office and sweeps you off your feet. It's a slow romance but one that has your head swirling with talk of Paris and London. I can't wait to read what happens in chapter 6 - he wants to meet your T - the other man in your life.
I'm here for you.
