Wow, that's gold Squiggy. Thank you so much for offering up those thoughts.
One of the things my W said after leaving was how upset she was that I would make all of these positive changes - changes she hoped for for years, but then I some other woman would get to benefit from them. She was upset at the unfairness of it all.
I want to show up to our session displaying strength across the board. Empathetic, yet not weak. Knowing what I want and how I'm going to live the rest of the my life. Listening to and affirming her experiences without needing to chime and defend my actions in any way.
I appreciate your thoughts and hope your situation is continuing to improve.
