I had a session yesterday with Enid. It went well and by well, I mean I totally broke down and cried and she laughed because I was so angry and she said, "You're angry! I know this because you're saying everything so concrete right now and that's just not you." It felt so good to get it all out and actually let myself cry and acknowledge that this ( Read more... )
