bpd_mess - I used to send my T quite a few text messages and the occassional e-mail. She'd hardly reply (I know she's busy) but sometimes would, and I assume she did read each of them. I'm still too "shy" (for lack of a better word; may self-conscious/ guarding...?) to broach a lot of my topics face to face.
I sent her a VERY deep e-mail on Tues, and texted her on Wed to tell her I'd sent her a mail and I'd like to discuss some of this in our next session.
She said she was glad I was taking ownership of my therapy (Not quite sure what that meant, but I guess it was the fact that I was bringing my topics with me and dictating the direction more) but then told me I have to PRINT my MAIL and take it to the session!!! ARg - assume I'll have to read it out aloud too.
Gee - I'm petrified.
It basically said how important she was in my life; how safe I feel in T, that I crave the kind of professional relationship we have, as a personal relationship in my life (Not with her, but people in my life). That I wish she could text me some words of encouragement maybe every morning, that I wish I could have something that reminded me of her and our sessions.. That I feel so lonely in my life... now to tell her that to her face...
