>but I left feeling so sad and have done since. I'm beginning to realise that he does believe and understand me...
There's been many a time I've walked out of my therapy sessions and have been sadder than when I went in, sometimes lasting for days or weeks.
There is something about sharing our sadness with someone that permits the feeling to be expressed in full, probably because we may, for the first time, not feel so alone with it. As my T said recently, she notices that I am able to stay with or hold the sad feelings longer/better and that is supposed to be a sign of progress. It doesn't feel like it, but there you go. It does get better eventually.
