peaches I am just catching up. I'm sorry you're going through times of infrequent sessions. I think that is unnerving, too!

I like your T's response to your email. What did you think about it?

To me, it sounds like she's saying that she's talking about coping skills so you can feel better now, and that she is there during sessions to talk more about this, as much as you want to.

I'll also say that when I want comfort and reassurance, I don't feel it when T gives the therapeutic response like "I know it is important to you" and "Of course we'll talk about this next sesion, it's important" because what I want to hear in there is that she cares and that will always be implied, and not expressed, so it leaves me wanting.

I think you've done so well staying connected and sitting with your feelings, and articulating so well what is happening for you.
