Hi Tupp,
I'm weary from a business trip (driving across NJ/NY could've turned my hair whiter) but loved seeing the new World Trade Center from the Veranzano Bridge). Also enjoyed my first visit to the Hamptons, where I felt like a poky Martian, strolling where The Very Rich shop. But the weather was bright and crisp and it was fun to be away from the home office. My flight home got in late.

Fetched my pooch from the boarding place this a.m. and she's worn out but seems happy--she was in "day care" with other dogs during the day, which was great socialization for her. She follows me from room to room to be sure I'm sticking around.

Nap's next, then a business meal (ugh) tonight...next two days my most-loathed work experience, a "strategic retreat" which Nboss always begins by forcing everyone to listen to his "guided meditation" during which he does full-guru thought control (love meeeee, love the company, my passsssssssion for this company, ick--in a soft, hypnotic voice). Horribly invasive to me.

But I found out two years ago that foam earplugs are easy to hide under my hair and I no longer hear a damn note of his mantra crap!

Growllll,
Hops

Oh Hopsie, hooray for ear plugs and long hair!  What a brilliant idea, your boss sounds like a nightmare.  I used to work at a place where the boss organised 'team building' events and weekends away, which generally involved doing something he was really good at and him getting really drunk and being obnoxious to people.  I'm very glad I was able to escape!

I'm glad your lovely pooch has settled so well and enjoyed her little holiday away from home.  It's a good sign of how well she's settled with you that she coped with that and still seemed happy.  She must be leading a happy dog life now :)

Had another session last night, feel terrible today.  Realised I feel like I need someone else's permission to talk about certain things, it made me realise that I need to take the bull by the horns and start talking about my step-dad.  I know it's something I really need to deal with but I just find it so hard, even thinking about him makes me feel sick.  But it needs to be done so that's my mission for the next session.

Twoapenny:
I feel like I don't want to go back.  I don't feel safe enough to talk about him.  I feel like I'll be opening the door up and she won't be able to protect me from him.  Something has changed since the last session.  There were a couple of points in it when I didn't feel that she was hearing what I was saying.  I think that's what made me feel unsafe.  I'm not sure that she is the right person to be talking to about this now.  I'm thinking about trying someone else.  It's taken such a long time to get to a point where I really need to talk about him that I don't want to spill to the wrong person.  Something about the whole set up doesn't feel right at the minute.  It's not that I don't want to talk at all, I just don't want to talk about it to her.
