My story made an impact on her and she said several times that my story was powerful and difficult to listen to, which was good to hear. So, I'm going back next week.
sounds like a potentially very good space for you, lixie. So glad you felt heard and therapist was warm and understanding. Please take time to be proud of yourself for getting there and being able to speak. And don’t forget to be kind to yourself afterwards, that self-care stuff. Therapy , even good therapy, can sometimes leave us a bit shaky.
