Because this is someone you respect and admire and benefited from, is there a way to do a salvage? In any case, would another appointment help? I'm hoping I'm not projecting terribly here, but it helped me a LOT to talk through this stuff with my T, and I didn't admire or respect him, not that much ...though we still were able to accomplish some things.
Also, if he was really feeling agitation, he might be even more able to clarfiy things when the heat of the heat of the moment has cleared somewhat for him.
On the other hand, if you're done, you're done. And you'll know, I bet.....  |
His agitation was over something I wrote in my email. Something like, "There are times when your silence isn't healing. Sometimes, it's deafening and HARD."
He responded negatively in session.
Last April, I sent T an email about his silence, and how it's perceived by me... the negative self talk in my mind during those really quiet moments. I asked him, at the time, to be honest. Did I email too often? Was it too much? Was I too much? I wrote....Say something, ANYTHING. Just please, don't be silent.
T said I wasn't too much. I didn't email too much and I was still welcome to email whenever I wanted and he would respond when he was able.
