MKAC's thread about needing to hear things repeatedly made me think about what sometimes feels like a compulsive need to say things to my T over and over. The first thing that comes to mind is how much I miss her between sessions. Mind you, most of the "saying" is via email.
Sometimes she responds and sometimes she doesn't. If I say in session that I had missed her the week before, she usually just comments on the fact that I said the words out loud, instead of in an email. And asks me how it was to say it, etc. etc.
I sometimes wish that I didn't feel compelled to tell her that I miss her over and over. After a certain point, what more is there for her to say. Sometimes I wonder if I keep saying it because I'm looking for a certain response (not that I know what that would be). That she misses me too? Clearly she doesn't. That she understands why I might miss her? Maybe that's closer to it.
I don't know, just musing through my fingers now. Are there any things you find yourself wanting to say repeatedly to your T?
