Muff - Are you new to therapy? I'd never used one prior to starting either.

AG - Thanks very much! It was my 30th, a fairly big one...And happened to fall on our new appointment day (my schedule keeps changing with the new job, and she keeps accommodating me). It wasn't until the end of the session when she asked about my weekend plans and I mentioned a maid appointment later that afternoon because I 'didn't want to clean my house on my birthday'... that my T actually knew it was my birthday... At which point, she gave me a big, real hug... She had done the same at Christmas... it's a very powerfully kind gesture.

Thanks so much for your insights - I truly appreciated your thoughts.
