New T: Yes I will give you a hug.

OldT: I'm sorry I wrecked your life. It was all my fault. I was wrong and you were right. I couldn't control my feelings and made it about me and not you. Yes, your son can come to camp. I don't want to be enemies with you. Maybe you can drop me an email once in awhile and let me know how you are doing because I really do care about you and want you to be well and happy. I'm sorry I hurt you and caused you so much pain...

Oh TN, you are holding back a little...I think OldT needs to say, "Thank you for not suing my ass!!! I know I certainly deserved it and I am one lucky son of a bitch that you didn't. I totally failed you and its just because I was scared of my own countertransference issues. What I did was wrong and unethical the way I terminated your therapy. I am so sorry and I completely understand if you never forgive me, though I hope you do because I care about you and hope that we can make peace someday".

T1 to me:
Remember the other day when I said, "I REALLY like you"? Well, what I meant to say was, "I love you!"

HAH! I love it! Mine would say:

"BB, I will be flying overseas to your area on Tuesday, coincidentally, and want you to consider coming in for a session and meeting in person while I am there. It would be greatly helpful to me, in getting to know you better, so that I can continue to help you. If you are unable to afford a session with me at this time, that is ok, I will be happy to reduce my fees in this case. I would also like to come to your church while I am there, and meet your friends which of course includes your SD, and of course, your family, because it all sounds so cool to me. I would love to meet your adorable children, and give them a lot of, magically, very appropriate hugs. However, I do not think it would be beneficial for you to have a marital session during this time, unless we do it where I don't charge you at all for it. And, as long as you are comfortable with it, I would like you to sit on my lap during the individual session, and you can lean on my shoulder so that we can better connect. I will be wearing my softest very cool European sweater. I think all of this would be greatly beneficial for your healing, according to my research and my understanding of the scriptures."

Oh, I am just laughing my ass off writing this! So much fun. Frowner Frowner Big Grin Frowner I'm pathetic.

TN - You are very generous.

LG - Like your version to TN's OldT.

BB - Literally LOL.

T to Yaku: I wish I could take your pain away. (He has actually texted that, but wish I could hear him say it). I wish I had been your Father. I'd like to sit next to you in your sessions, so you can feel what it's like to be safe, close to, held by a parent, the way you deserved. I really care about you, Kiddo. I think about you and want to know you're doing OK. Would it be alright if I called to check in on you or just to chat?

Red Face This thread is even more embarrasing than the other one!!!

BB- You do not know what is good for you, sometimes. I am not going to comply with your request that I remember to charge you for every email. It makes it much too difficult for us to communicate as we need to be able to do, since you are broke. You are just going to have to accept, that you can write to me as much as you want to and I will read and respond when I can, and if you need an immediate response you are going to have to learn to say so, and then I will need to charge you in those cases. That is final, and I do not want any more arguments from you on this matter. Do you understand?

And remember- I love you, and would give you cuddles if I could.

T1 to me:
LG, I smile when I see that I've gotten a text from you. I know you think you burden me with your texts, but I like that you text me.

Strangely, I am unable to do this exercise at the moment. Weird! Frowner

T to Yaku:

I'm sorry you're feeling scared and alone today. Let's do lunch! We can talk or just be in each other's presence until you feel grounded again.
