Thanks everyone. I posted only a few hours after my session, so was feeling pretty clear and positive. I guess being able to freely express how I was feeling about him (including that I love him, and how he makes me feel) was like a weight was being lifted off of my shoulders. It was interesting to learn something about myself too. I do worry that perhaps it has given me some false hope, but we talked about that too ... ie how long do you 'wait'. I guess it is a process. It doesn't make me miss him any less ... stupid stupid me had a spray of his smell tonight when I went into the shops to pick something up!

Erin ... maybe it still could help? Perhaps it could become more about you as opposed to him and dealing with your relationship? In many ways, I'm as much looking forward to my third session to continue exploring reasons as to why I react and behave in certain ways owing to my past, as I am to help with dealing with the current relationship 'trauma'. I don't know what your counsellor said, but mine advised that it is a journey that takes some time to explore. He or she could perhaps also help you with the acceptance ... maybe we don't have to do this alone? BIG hugs x
