> Yes indeed. Good for you! I always close my eyes. :)
I never close my eyes, but I do look to the side. Or up at the ceiling. But that's mostly when I'm trying to remember something. I don't know why I think it's on the ceiling, but it seems to work. :)

> Yes, I think disclosure generally deepens our feelings of attachment, especially if it is well received.That makes sense. I think I'll tell him how I've been feeling lately and see where that goes. I was thinking of termination the other day...how a final session might go, and I started to cry. I really couldn't decide how I would do last session. Good thing it's a ways away.

> So I'm not sure if it's really an understanding of my own behavior, or an absorption of standard reasoning for weight gain I've heard on Oprah or Donahue.I wondered that myself almost as soon as I thought it. "Is this a cliche?" But I can't deny that I do not feel sexy at all at this weight.
> You have reason and more to link aggression and sex. Even I, who have no history, see sex... well, you know. There's physiology that makes that view reasonable.
Yeah, we've got mechanical issues that make it difficult anyway. And yeah, I come by my sex/aggression issue honestly. But at the same time, I get really angry because I used to have a very good sex life. And now that person is just gone. Bah!

> Was your father religious? My mother's family all felt that way about girls piercing their ears. It's in the bible or something.If he was, he kept it entirely to himself. He was brought up Methodist, but we never went to church as a family (Mom is Catholic). Never talks about religion or anything bibilical or spiritual.

> And somehow that felt icky. Like it shouldn't matter how old I got, he wasn't supposed to notice.I distinctly remember being teased by my uncle for getting long legs as a young teen when I was in my bathing suit at the family cabin. I hated that. Felt icky for people to be noticing I was growing up. I was never one to want to grow up too fast. Always a late bloomer.
> Now how's this for a disjointed answer?
Not any more than my post. :)
Thanks for your thoughts,
