You made it for a long time. Congratulations for that!

Two weeks is a long time to wait between sessions. (I go every other week also). And I relate to not wanting to bother your therapist between sessions too. Are you like me in that you think there is always someone else who probably needs him more or is more deserving of his attention? You count too, and if you are experiencing distress, I'm sure he would be glad to help you get through it. That's what he's there for, right? Can you write to him? I sometimes write a letter to my T and take it with me to my next appointment, and I also can send him e-mail. That has made a world of difference for me.

You can always talk to us about it too. I was glad to have the chance to chat with you the other day. We have a lot in common.

Sending positive thoughts your way, no matter what you decide regarding seeing your mother, going to the wedding, and contacting your therapist. Just do what's right for you.
