Dear BJ,

That encounter with the cop would bother anyone. It sounds like you handled it well.
Maybe ask the vet his / her opinion about taking Hooper to the dog park.

Keep talking to the tdoc. The more you talk, the more you will benefit from therapy.
Bring notes with you or print out what is here to talk to her before you get started on the session.
Ask her to help you during this time in the next weeks. Tell her how important her help is. Ask her for advice about how to get through the time successfully.

I basically agree with a lot of what has been said about therapy here... especially Mari's comments on working on the relationship with your therapist, and communicating your needs as well as your reactions to some of the troublesome sessions. But i know that is hard to do. I am not going to rehash what has already been said very well, but i will wish you good luck, and courage at this something of a crossroads in therapy.

i will just add that, the more in tune you and your t are, the better she will be able to support you through the upcoming anniversary period. i hope you will be able to let her know you need her for this.
