So I usually end up booking sessions for the following week by email after my last session. I've booked a few times at the end but usually I get too nervous and T isn't too great at picking up on my telepathic messages to pick up her darn agenda and offer me a session. But I had this whole, not very functional approach to it. I would go on Wednesday or Thursday. Couldn't book on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday because that would seem too needy. It would seem, to T (according to me) that as soon as I left session I was like "therapy, therapy, therapy, therapy" which obviously is a no-go. And then, despite the fact that I know T has a few sessions over the weekend, I couldn't email her those days because I didn't want to infringe on her weekend time. And then by Monday I would be too nervous. On the few times I have booked sessions the week before in session, I would get a reminder Monday evening. So by Tuesday it would really click that I need to book (my preferred day is Wednesday and it seems ALL of t's people are out to steal my day).

So what did I do today? I emailed her! Because I realized, that T, is in fact a T and she does have other clients/patients/whatever. So guess what, she knows how and when to answer an email asking to book an appointment. It's not like I'm appearing in her kitchen saying "hey, can I pretty please book a session for tomorrow?" It's an email tsol, she can ignore it and get back to me if she's in the middle of eating a family dinner or whatever it is she does. I'm not infringing. She may hear her phone go off, she may have it on silent. She may get up to check, or maybe she waits until whatever she's doing is over. I was all worried that she would be OBLIGATED to drop the turkey on the ground as she's pulling it out of the oven to book an appointment with me. Not to say that I'm that special or in need of emergency responses.

Just a tiny baby step I made in not panicking over sending her a short email on the weekend because she's been a T before and isn't as much of a sketch bag as I clearly tend to be.
