Thanks, Lucie! After the disaster that happened with the other analyst, the principal thing we did for most of the past year was try to form a solid bond. It took a LOT of time, and there were many mishaps along the way. It was very helpful to keep going over what was happening between us- even the smallest little things- repairing tiny ruptures over and over. Slowly, very slowly, it helped us form a really solid bond. Now, it's there, and we have a foundation to do that other hard thing- say all the things I just absolutely DON'T want to say!
He is great- very smart, witty, and very devoted to his patients. He recently went from a 45 to a 50 minute hour because "45 minutes just wasn't long enough, for me or for my patients". There was just so much dedication and caring in his voice when he told me that.
