Absolutely great day today. Normal routine at the gym early, upped my treadmill minutes to 35, and I had more left in me than that, but had to stop due to time restraints.
Tuesdays are my normal session day with Erin, today's appointment was slightly earlier than usual. She let me know immediately in a very friendly manner that next week she would be bringing in a new clinician into our session so that I can meet her, Erin hand-picked this young woman to take up where she and I leave off.
We also discussed how we will handle the "changing of the guards" for want of a better term. She told me how much she was going to miss me, and I agree... although it is a professional relationship, we have established a rapport and that part is going to be tough. I will miss her like crazy.
I mentioned that last week I wasn't sure if her leaving meant I also was done, and she asked me did I think I was ready to leave. After I thought about it for a moment, I said no, that I thought I was very close but there were still a few things I thought could be worked on. She agreed 100% and so in a couple weeks I'll be seeing a whole new person.
She spent a great deal of time today telling me of how proud she was of me and how impressed she has been with my complete dedication to working through the really hard stuff and all of the positive changes that have resulted from that. I think she just wants me to be aware of how much of this is due to my own efforts, and to be proud of myself. She needn't worry there!
She also agreed with the idea of me doing a 5k by November. So that's now a definite goal I will work towards.
The last thing we talked about was our very last session which will be in the first part of May. She wants it to give closure for this part of my recovery and she wants me to think of some special things, sort of a ceremony of sorts, to bring it all to a close. I am going to need to think about that, at this point I'm not sure what would be appropriate. I do know that it most certainly be emotional, and I'm not sure how well I'll handle it.
I will not sing Kum Bah Yah, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
Peace to all.
