T called as I was typing my post above. I forgot I had my phone set up to send her calls to voicemail, so even if she had called me last night I wouldn't have gotten it. Doh.

So here's the message she left. Again, this is transcribed by google voice which isn't always totally accurate but you get the idea. I haven't actually listened to the message yet, for some reason the idea scares me.

hey Molly, this is [T} and I got your message yesterday and and I have, like, My whole weekend is jam packed so I can't effectively respond to it before monday, I, I, and I got your your text and Thank you for telling me that you're going to the E R and I. I got your voicemail and unfortunately I was unable to give you a coaching as I just, I got the the phone call too late. I am still available for coaching. I'm still available to be your therapist. I'm really hoping that you'll come in on Monday and Yeah, and I'm really hoping you'll come in because Molly, This is exactly what you and I decide what your goal was to learn to walk through the stuff. And I'm still more than willing to walk through this with you together. So that's it alright. I hope to see you on Monday and if you need to talk to you can give me a call. Bye.

I mean, it's a good message, it's ok. Except...if I do need to TALK give her a call? WTF? Is that not EXACTLY PRECISELY what she's been telling me not to do? God it's so confusing. So confusing.

I just want to add that my recollection of the goal I set in therapy about a month ago was to learn how to more effectively cope with medical procedures and tests. T has mentioned in a couple of her recent voice mails that my goal was to learn to work through this stuff, which is in itself a pretty vague definition, and that just adds to my confusion. What does that mean, work through this stuff, and how is it that I remember very clearly setting a very different goal?
