I've tried to tell myself to just not worry about it and I can cancel in the morning if I want to, but I need to cancel now so I can not be so scared.
I guess I'm just hoping someone here will have some amazing insight that will help me out here. But just hugs are fine too  |
Zoo, my advice would be not to cancel. I have been in the exact same situation as you are now and I did cancel then. I regretted it, because the pain did not go away by itself. The way forward, in my experience, is to tell her where exactly you are now and how you are feeling. Hopefully you and T can take a step back from the trauma processing, step outside of those intense emotions for a little while and reflect on the bigger picture for a moment.
