Dear Therapist,

I am worrying myself sick about going back to work in a few weeks. What if my boss will not let me off early to go to my sessions? I realize that it is important for me to be there for my students since this is back to school time, but what if my anxiety takes over and I have a panic attack at school?

You know what? I am upset with you that you encouraged me to form this bond/trust with you. Now I don't know what to do if I miss a session!! I did not want to become dependent and I really think that I am.

This is not a game to me. I wanted to keep my distance from you because I know that this is a one-sided relationship. Now I am in this big mess!!

I wonder if you can write some kind of note for me to keep in my file at work so that my boss knows that it is important for me to keep my appointments with you.
