I have always, always been anxious before a session. Yes, if my therapist replies to my email, that will instantly relieve the anxiety. I will still have the pre-session jitters, though.

She often says in a reply, "I am sending you this email just to let you know I got it and to help relieve your anxiety. I will send a better response later."

She knows that I get very anxious when waiting on a reply. That is why we have settled into a routine. She normally always sends a quick reply on Sunday mornings. Then she will follow up with a more detailed response that night or Monday morning.

Nothing yet. But that's okay. I know she is not mad at me. I keep telling myself she is with her kids. They may be at the zoo, or out swimming somewhere. I know that her girls do horseback riding, so maybe they are out doing something that has to do with that.

She is really involved at her church, so maybe she is working on VBS stuff. Or she could be kicked back at home watching movies with her girls. It is flippin' hot out here!

She will respond............she will not ignore me..........she will send me a response when she gets time...........I have to believe this to keep myself from going nuts waiting.........
