You sound sort of sad, melancholy almost, even as you say you are doing pretty well. Maybe it is the head ache? I hope so, and I hope it leaves quickly.
I call the aftermath of a session "therapy hangover." I think opening ourselves up to someone we trust so much leaves us feeling vulnerable and tender for a while afterwards. I'm sure you do miss him a lot. But it seems that you are working together better now, or perhaps you've adjusted to the new style? Or both?
Do you ever talk about losing weight in therapy? I must say this is an area we haven't touched much. Body imagine is a loaded (really, really really) loaded subject for me. I just lost 15 lbs (stress, new medication) and when I mentioned it as part of a laundry list of side effects of the medication, he said, "is that a good thing?" Given that I should lose 35 more, yup, I think so. But I couldn't talk about it, so I said, "you can never be too rich or too thin." He didn't pursue it. Just curious, hope this isn't too personal a question.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
