(((((Echoes))))... this is mirroring my life. My t is also expecting her daughter to give birth - at any moment- and so whoever happens to be the unfortunate one whose time is at birth time gets dropped. It's like playing musical chairs.... when will the phone ring. I watched it all during my session this wed. which was about 3 inches from her knee. It rang. We both looked at it. Not the baby. *let out held breath I didn't know i was holding all session*.
At least I did have early warning. T said that of course a baby takes first priority - and she hopes that everyone would naturally agree with that. My mature self (as you said) nods "oh of course!" while my not-so-mature selves start panicking.
Keep breathing Echoes, you can get through this - you're doing really quite well, being able to look at the feelings and acknowledge them all. That takes skill!
