I told him that the unconditional positive regard he has given and shown me in almost a year now, has helped me accept myself for who I really am without any masks. I told him that I have never received it before, and never knew I needed it even and it was a bonus I received in therapy. I told him even though I needed this, I don't need him so much now because I have internalized it within me. It is hard to explain, do any of you know what I mean?
I told him that I trusted I could tell him this without worrying that he would get weird by it. He was very touched that I told him.It was a moment I will never forget.
He looked over his notes from the past on me and we worked a little on ego strength EMDR therapy. But it didn't work for me very well. But we will try stage 2 in a future session.
I told him that since I see him every week and sometimes more, that I have had as many sessions with him in a year that I had with my old T in 2 /2 years. I believe it has made the world of difference.
I am feeling good today, I had a great workout in the morning and did the elliptical twice as long as I planned because I was talking to his girl I met. It felt so good. Well off to beddy bye.
