That little guy is my favorite smiley, RIMH. He expresses, for me, the joy I find when someone takes a big, or even small step forward. I remember how I felt when my psychiatrist verified that I was progressing - that I'd learned something important. When one of you does it, it just really thrills me! :yahoo:

I too affirm the use of writing, faxing, emailing to communicate what you can not say. I relied very heavily on faxes for the first year of my therapy. I was able to write out what had happened to me and give it to my therapist. Even that act -- giving it to him and having him "put it away" until later.....many many months later, when I was ready for him to bring it out and talk about it, was very helpful to me in containing all the difficult memories and emotions.

You sound like you are making progress RIMH. Good for you.
